If you route through a site, you're at that site's whims to rewrite
your paths, mung your From: addresses, and all kinds of other yuk.

If you use pathalias and don't want to route to site 'foo', define
it as dead (or at least avoid) in the pathalias command line.

If you find other mailers that reroute to 'foo', avoid/dead them too.

Don't go to somebody's house, hand them a fork, then call them
anti-social because they don't hold their fork the way you do.  If it
matters that much to you, either don't go to their house or don't
give them any forks.

PS Any UNIX fork analogy purely unintentional.
