Nonsense, the X-Original-To: is always the unmodified address.

Delivered-To: contains the address that Postfix delivered to.
If the address were different then Postfix would lie, because
that would not be the address that it delvered the mail to.

The mail is not delivered to the virtual address. The mail is
delivered to whatever the alias expands to.
