This controls the return address, which if anything will appear on a 'From '
line added by the receiving mail system.  If it appears on the 'From:' line
you have a more serious problem.

Unfortunately MMDF at present has no way to globally disable this behavior.
MMDF will always make the return address be a source route if the hostname
returned by a resolver lookup on the source IP address is not the same as the
hostname given in the return address passed in the SMTP transaction, after both
have been mapped through the domain tables.  You can work around it on a
per-host basis (if the sending machines use fixed hostnames) by adding domain
table entries that map the sending machine names to the domain name given in
the return address.  In your case, you would add an entry to root.dom (or
whatever file-based domain table you have) that said:

adsl-64-168-190-156.dsl.lsan03.pacbell.net      vegena.net

but if that's not a fixed hostname, this won't do you much good...
