What appears in the header has nothing to do with the recipient of an
SMTP-injected message. The recipient is specified in the envelope, which is
given with the SMTP RCPT TO command.
It may be that you have something screwy in control/virtualdomains or
users/assign and that mail isn't going where you want it to go, but the header
of a message isn't an indicator of who the recipient should have been.
