Description

When postfix is configured with a SMTP relay, forwarded mail is rejected. This is because the sender envelope address is not rewritten. Change the postfix dovecot LDA configuration to rewrite the sender envelope address. This allows the SMTP relay service to validate that the mail is coming from an accepted domain. The From: header is left unchanged.

Fixes #1278
