Yes, that would appear to be the case... The domain the mail is originating from
("savespaper.com") doesn't exist, therefore sendmail (and it looks like your
running an up to date version) will bin it...
We get loads here, binned because the domain doesn't exist, because the sender
didn't specify an domain at all etc...
