I would think it is a candidate and it has a configuration error.  It
probably doesn't accept null sender either.

Given the configuration error, I'd test and notify other contacts like
info@pnf.net, guardian@pnf.net, and admin@prosite.de before submitting.
Initial testing revealed the following:

infoarchiv.de MX (Mail Exchanger) Priority: 10 mail.infoarchiv.de
mail.infoarchiv.de A (Address) 217.13.197.40
550 <postmaster@mail.infoarchiv.de>... Relaying denied
550 <postmaster@217.13.197.40>... Relaying denied

Best Regards,  Jeff.
