Thanks for your suggestion. However, as it always seems to go, the issue was not with OpenSMTPD, but somewhere else. The problem turned to be the vacation program's insistence on a valid envelope sender on incoming mails. Normal delivery worked fine, but when the vacation program was invoked it rejected the mail created by our (misconfigured) ticketing system. Now that the ticketing system is behaving, all is well.
