Questions specifically about relay-ctrl belong on the author's bgware mailing
list.

Your "firewall" is acting as a proxy, apparently, if all connections from the
other side appear to come from an address of the firewall itself.  Just
configure your firewall not to proxy the connections (just block/allow them
normally).  Ask your firewall vendor for assistance if necessary; this isn't
really related to qmail or relay-ctrl.
