In your original message, you listed the header as being:
>From www-data at mydomain.com Thu Dec 18 17:14:31 2003
that doesn't look like a from header because it starts with a '>' and
it has a date in it. It looks more like an mbox seperator to me, but
I'm rusty on mbox.

I think what's happening is that the end MTA is rejecting the
message. While this does result in a bounce being generated, it's very
different than the remote MTA generating the bounce. I don't remember
offhand what exim uses to generate a bounce for rejected mail.
