Then why the original poster is asking how to fix it?

Why there are answers how to fix it?

Replacement of existing origin lines is NOT properly. There is one real origin

It is common practice that mailcontent including the original origin line is
transported unmodified within Fidonet as long as i can remember.

Other FTNs may have other requirements.
