Am I the last TeleFinder sysop still connected to Fidonet using MacKennel?

The problem I reported long ago with grunged message import/export to fidonet is back.
RT was going to correct this before bugging out, but I do not think I have a Mail Server version that contains the fix. The Mail Server version I have is 5.7, but I recall that there was a 5.7.3 at one time.

To recap:

I am experiencing a problem with Mail Server (I think) that causes it to
occasionally transmit messages with no "To:" field to the Mac Kennel
Gateway. I am almost certain that I had some messages in the "Fidonet
Import" file that were missing this field prior to the point MK picked
them up, but I have lost them over time.

Another problem with Mail Server is that many messages are imported from
Fidonet with bad "From:" addresses. The actual address appears to have
some unique identifier (which includes the date of the message) appended
to it. An example of this taken from an EMAIL looks like the following:

This also afflicts echo conference messages, but I do not have a sample
handy.
