Exactly... however - many mail servers _are_ misconfigured. especially
those using an external-internal relay...

Sit back and watch absolutely nothing happen, unless both mailers are
misconfigured.  Even the venerable RFC821
(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/std/std10.html) notes that:

      Of course, server-SMTPs should not send notification
      messages about problems with notification messages.
