Masquerading Issue

Hi,
I have a sendmail box that is acting as a gateway between the internet and our mailsweeper box. Everything works fine, except sendmail is relaying messages to the mailsweeper box with the wrong sender address. Instead of user@domain.com, the header says user@[192.x.x.x].

Received: from sjmail.xxx.com (unverified [10.1.0.5]) by sjmsw.xxx.com
(Content Technologies SMTPRS 4.3.12) with ESMTP id <T68d7074454c0a8a814828@sjmsw.arc.com> for <concise@[192.168.168.20]>;

The whole header of this email is fine except for the section above. I guess instead of looking at the TO: field, mail clients look to see who the message was 'for'. Also, outgoing mails seem to be masqueraded correctly.

Any ideas to correct this? TIA!
