Forwarded emails lose original recipient

I dont know if this is a Scalix issue or an ISP/fowarding issue, but here goes.

I have a few external ISP's and email addresses which I have set at the ISP to forward to my account on my local Scalix server for the domain pbco.ca. But email which is sent to myname@outsidedomain.com shows up as having been sent to the forwarded address (myname@pbco.ca) rather than the original recipient address of myname@outsidedomain.com. Is there anyway to keep the original recpient address (pre-forwarding) when it gets to myname@pbco.ca?

The header rewrite is done as part of the forwarding, so the apparent from address is set by the forwarding system, i.e. the ISPs MTA.

Scalix as a forwarder can behave both ways.
