This eludes me. Here are the relevant bits form the config:

mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, $mydomain
mydomain = site.internal.co.uk
myhostname = server.site.internal.co.uk
mynetworks = 10.77.0.0/16, 127.0.0.0/8
myorigin = $mydomain
sender_canonical_maps = dbm:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical

sender_canonical has this, for every user:

shortname Long.Name

I've tried modifying it so that the LHS to make site be equal to
$myorigin:

shortnamesite.internal.co.uk Long.Namesomedomain.com

And both cases produce the same results, Reply-To: being still the
internal address, and the other headers are fine.

Any pointer into what I'm doing wrong here and dont see myself would
be helpful.

cheers,
Alexander
