The SMTP protocol requires < and > in the "MAIL FROM:<{senderemail}>" 
command.

 From RFC2821:
-------
MAIL FROM:<reverse-path> [SP <mail-parameters> ] <CRLF>

The <reverse-path> portion of the first or only argument contains the 
source mailbox (between "<" and ">"  brackets)
------

In your logs you have a successfull delivery and a failure after 6 
minutes. They are 2 different transactions. One of them worked.
