From examining mail server logs it looks like mailreport sends the email but it sets the from address in the header to <>. So a lot of systems will reject the email. Whereas pfSense actually puts the email in <>.

I set the from address in pfsense to the "Name <>" format. Then I first had pfSense sending an email and then mailreport sending a report. I sanitized emails and servers.
