It wouldn't be your mailer doing that. It would be the editor or tosser
stuffing the password into the echomail header. The mailer itself doesn't
modify the contents of echomail/netmail.
So I suppose if you want to find a possible real solution, see if there's a way
to edit binkd settings manually. You would have to add the session password
there, and not use the one in DB's Security section. If there is any way you
can edit the "node" line in binkd that DB creates, the session password goes in
there, for example:
node 1:154/10@fidonet -md bbs.pharcyde.org <SESSIONPW> c /usr/fido/1154100
