Or perhaps your mailserver forwards it automatically to the other site.
Look at your mailserver logs whether the mail was or was not at
mail.dev.ecorp.com
If it was there, then look at the locals/virtualdomains and smtproutes
files on mail.dev.ecorp.com. If they are incorrect (correct is if
locals/virtualdomains contains dev.ecorp.com, and smtproutes does not
contain it). If neither of them contains it, and smtproutes contains a
default entry pointing to mail.ecorp.com, then you know why it turns up
on mail.ecorp.com.
If the previous is not the case, then you probably have a transparent
proxy working somewhere (eg. in the fw)
