Is it possible that it is a funky cache thing. Maybe you should try enabling the mailbox, cycle the email engine, then disable the mailbox, and cycle the email engine again.
I don't think it would hurt.
Also, are you sure the e-mails going out are actaully going through that mailbox. Is it possible that they are actually going through a different outgoing mailbox?
