You haven't copied this literally, have you? I can tell, because there's an incorrect bracket in the first rule.
Please copy it literally, with the correct domains. The information could be relevant, so it's best not to obscure it.
You can check your log files to see if rewrite rules are used. But, you'll probably need to specify that they should be logged with "log_selector = +address_rewrite"

Spelling tips: "read" "responsible". Also, please start your sentences with a capital letter: it makes your message easier to read.

That probably depends on the nature of the sending client. Some may not be fixable. It's probably worth looking to see whether you can eliminate, or at least understand this.
