Well, I don't have access to anything that isn't some kind of google email. My work email is run by Google and my personal is Gmail. Both have same bounce. Weird. I'll get one of our aqaintences to test this from a corporate email.

Does your buddy know he's been fired yet?

i don't see why. they could accomplish the same thing by deactivating the account properly...

In our company they deactivate incoming email and put an automatic reply indicating the person is gone and who to contact, leave that on for a couple weeks and then do a full archive.
