the module logs every message sent out by the server, does not check if 
it is a retransmission.

if there are multiple destinations, then the toip filed should have 
different values.

It seems that gaim is not listening on the port it advertised. The best 
is to watch the network traffic and see which port is attempted to 
transmit the message:
ngrep -qt -d any port 5060
on your openser server.
