And, what address is put into the MAIL FROM: field for the actual file
which is sent "under separate cover" (i.e., the promised message that
they do not receive)? Just curious --I have no clue as to what the
problem is (yet).

Yes. Just to be clear, we've heard about this problem only
from (some of) our [log in to unmask]

These addressees do not receive even very small files. And, yes,
I can send them the very same (larger) files and they do receive them.
They also tell me that they regularly receive even much larger files
with graphics, etc.
