So my guess is that the address the mail is coming from doesn't exist or 
the headers are malformed.  Send us the complete headers for on of your 
generated emails.

It should look like:

Subject: foo bar
From: blah blah <blahblah at cyberxdesigns.com>
Date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 19:09:03 -0600
To: "Blah blah" <blahblah at cyberxdesigns.com>
Return-path: <blahblah at cyberxdesigns.com>
Envelope-to: blahblah at cyberxdesigns.com
Delivery-date: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:09:01 -0500
Received: from [189.149.170.20] (helo=[192.168.0.198]) by 
host.cxdhosting.com with esmtpsa (TLSv1:AES256-SHA:256) (Exim 4.68) 
(envelope-from <blahblah at cyberxdesigns.com>) id 1JEaIR-0006mC-1b for 
blahblah at cyberxdesigns.com; Mon, 14 Jan 2008 20:08:55 -0500
Message-ID: <478C07AF.9 at cyberxdesigns.com>
User-Agent:
Thunderbird 2.0.0.9 (Windows/20071031)


That will start to help us pin point what the problem is.
