Yes, that is the same problem. Make sure that the user that send the
mail (e.g., 'www' if it's a cgi script) either explicitly sets the
'From' sender (via sendmail -f) or you have a correct genericstable
entry.

I know genericstable is new to many of you, but it is correct sendmail
usage. Many of us have gotten away with it for so long (myself
included) because of our open catchalls.
