After some iMail application exploring I found a area where I could turn off
'Verify MAIL FROM address'.  Once this was off the x-imail-spam-valfrom
header disappeared.  I am going to dig deeper to find out what the risks are
of not having this enabled however.

The user who is sending -- the MAIL FROM.

An  MX  that doesn't have a copy of the userbase for gatewayed domains
can  be  a  dangerous thing. However, this will NOT cause a failure of
the VALFROM test (in fact, the opposite, as all VALFROMs will pass).

However,  Eric  points  out  that the PIX is causing the test to _time
out_, and this appropriately constitutes a VALFROM fail.
