Hi,

I am a bit puzzled by this because I am not able to duplicate your problem.
Usually if something has the potential to go wrong it goes worse for me right
away :) I even tried sending an email from my alternate desktop which is not
OpenBSD and even in that case genericstable worked for me -- in this case it
goes from my iMac to server9 which is OpenBSD 4.7 -stable and then to gmail
and here are the headers. The return path is shown as vsan...@foretell.ca
