I'll change it back now. I guess I just need to change the permissions

Mm, but it still looks like mail from me under gentoo is looking like
it came from <local-loginname>@optushome.com.au, ignoring genericstable:
FEATURE(`genericstable',`hash -T<TMPF> /etc/mail/genericstable.db')
genericstable:

[etc.]
and Makefile has:
%.db : %
@makemap hash $@ < $<

I'll send this, then boot back over to gentoo.
