Help with SMAIL and XENIX rmail

We are running a Plexus P/60 (Plexus System V version 1.7) with SMAIL 2.5
and a Wyse pc386 (XENIX V/386 version 2.3) running the same SMAIL 2.5
(that is, built from the same sources).  We have been successfully using
SMAIL to broadcast messages from the Plexus using aliases.  The messages
arrive with the appropriate From: and Subject: lines still in place
after being rebroadcast by SMAIL.

THE PROBLEM:

When we moved a group of people from the Plexus to the Wyse, we set up
aliases on the Plexus (mrspoc) to forward mail to those people on the
Wyse (guinan).  Unfortunately, the mail received on guinan has a four
line header, as follows:

	From uucp Tue Mar  7 09:00:10 1989
	To: itkin
	Date: Tue Mar  7 09:00:10 1989

	>From itkin  Tue Mar  7 09:00:09 1989 remote from mrspoc

	To: itkin at mrspoc.UUCP

	a test

My forwarding address on mrspoc in the aliases file is

	itkin	guinan!itkin

HELP!  Please.  This will definitely push me OVER THE EDGE.  I suspect 
that the culprit is the XENIX mailer (lmail? rmail?).  Please MAIL your
replies and I will summarize if there are sufficient answers and there
is sufficient interest.

Thankyouthankyou.
