Subject: Strange mail Sender: problem with Borderware?

I've just inherited a Borderware Firewall Server and I'm having a
strange mail problem with it.

The Sender: header and envelope sender are being rewritten on both 
incoming and outgoing mail, to the ID of one particular POP mailbox.  
When we deleted that mailbox, it changed to the next one in line.

The From: header is untouched, so most person-to-person mail is OK.  
But for anything that looks at the envelope sender (Microsoft Mail 
SMTP gateway, Listproc, Listserv) it's really a problem.

Borderware tech support had me install a 7 megabyte patch file to
bring me up to the latest release, which went smoothly but didn't
help :-(   Other than that they don't seem to know what to do with
it.

This thing is basically a black box that doesn't let you in to see 
what's going on.  I know it's BSDI in there somewhere from the boot 
messages, but it's locked down tight through the user interface.  
I was undecided if that's good or bad, but my opinion is starting to 
lean....

Has anyone else had this problem on a Borderware Firewall Server, or
can offer any suggestions?  I'd appreciate any and all tips.  Thanks!
