subject: BlueWave 4.01 for PcBoard problems

I'm hoping that someone can help me here.  I'm running PcBoard 15.23
with BlueWave v4.01 maildoor.

The problem is that BlueWave insists on adding an Origin: line to every
message that gets uploaded through it.  I carry three networks (all
using FTSC but only one is FidoNet).  So by the BlueWave door adding the
same origin (1:114/201) to every message is not good.  By trial and
error, I discovered that the BlueWave door is reading the ORIGINS.DAT
file that PcBoard maintains.  So I edited that file and added the
correct Origin: lines for the conference numbers (2-180 for one network,
181-250 for the second and so on).

But... BlueWave still appends 1:114/201 to each of those Origin: lines
so it's still hosed.  I wiped the BWMAIL.PRM file (configuration) and
started over and left the 1:114/201 out of the BlueWave door's
configuration (BlueWave left "0:0/0" as the node number).  Now BlueWave
appends that node number (0:0/0) to every Origin: line.  

To get around this, I changed the conference setting from 5 (FidoNet) to
4 (Usenet) which has stopped BlueWave from adding anything to the
uploaded messages.  But..  Now that each conference is flagged as
"Usenet", the To: field is no longer valid.

Has anyone ran into this problem? If so, is there a fix?  I'd like to
continue offering the BlueWave door as a QWK alternative but not lik
this.

Thanks!
