I had the same problem recently. What I had to do was change the
config to only rewrite those headers on OUTBOUND mail - ie from and
sender headers. From my config:

| # fix local user names
| 
| dsrousso@???     dsroussos@???    fr
| ejlargen@???     ejlargent@???    fr
| awowens@???      fowens@???       fr


Without the 'fr' I had the same problem you experienced.
