Well the only way this could happen is if his fetchmail setup (since
"General SMTP/ESMTP error" is a fetchmail message) or his local qmail
setup (just a guess based on the headers) was somehow fubared in a way
that only puked on gmail messages.
In any case, fetchmail/qmail should *not* be ignoring the return-path
header and sending bounce messages directly to me. They are supposed
to go to gentoo-user+bounces, or the postmaster account, or somewhere
that someone can do something about it!!!

Gaaa! And be restricted to only getting/sending mail from one
location? Um, no thanks. ;-P
But I think it is time to just filter this stupidity out....
Cheers,
