Re: virtual alias maps ignored / emails rewritten from virtual to

Magnus was correct. This was not a postfix problem. My testing method
generated the strange "rewriting" of the sender's email address from
eleni@secondary.org to eleni@primary.com. I was testing using a
squirrelmail client on the server's public address (where primary.com is
hosts) instead of the virtual host where the domain secondary.org resides=
..
When I test from squirremail from an external account, the sender's name
remains www.secondary.org/webmail, the sender's address remains
eleni@secondary.org. can someone explain this result? thanks.
