oops, did your OE switch off the quoting or was there some intention behind

I think you are in the wrong thread or you mean Matt who did it *once* ;-) 
What you mention may indeed be a problem(*) but it's not what these rules fire 
on.
(*) Actually, that mail could have been delivered via SMTP AUTH directly to 
scs.stanford.edu, so it may be quite legitimate. If it's not delivering via 
SMTP AUTH the incorrect HELO "genstor.com" can be a problem as well, it's 
highly unlikely that a host with only one dot exists, my mail server would 
reject it.
