[comp.mail.sendmail] Errors-To header line

I have been (trying) to act as the forwarder of a mailing list.
It works for the most part, but I am having a little trouble
with the "Errors-To:" header line. The actual origination
of the list messages comes from a machine we have a UUCP connection
with, and I forward the Internet messages for them. The problem is
that the Errors-To: line ends up with a bang path address in it that
is only valid from my machine, and this causes MANY hosts on the
net to choke and puke. I have tried using sed to force the Errors-To:
line to be something more sensible, but it seems sendmail adds its
own version of the line anyway. I have looked at the sendmail.cf,
and I don't see any control over the Errors-To line - in fact,
I can't even tell what causes it to be included, Of course, I 
don't have a copy of the source (8-{) so I'm forced to announce my 
ignorance and solicit suggestions.

Can anyone tell what causes the Errors-To: header line to be 
included? How can I control it? Should I get a newer version
of sendmail (I am using the sendmail.mx I snagged from uunet's
sun-fixes directory).

BTW, I am running a Sun 3/160 (4.0.1).

Thanks in advance for any help.
