I suck. Why was I rewriting BOTH sender AND recipient? I don't know.

sender_canonical_maps instead of canonical_maps did the trick.

I quote: "Sender-specific rewriting is useful when you want to rewrite
ugly sender addresses to pretty ones, and still want to be able to
send mail to the those ugly address without creating a mailer loop."
(exactly what I intended in the first place...)
