I think you have to use a fully qualified hostname in the left hand
side too here, i.e.:

	stan at foo.example.net		stan at i-v-o.net

where foo.example.net is your local hostname.

Remove the -o option from genericstable.  It means that the generics
table lookup is optional and Sendmail will continue posting the
messages (probably using the wrong address, as you've discovered) even
if there's something wrong with your generics table setup

Setting up mutt is unnecessary.
