Ok I tried to skip over this comment so .....
I am NOT making a mistake ... Postfix is defaulting to remapping the
sender address when the sender is outside my network (ie my users) and
trying to be delivered local.
that being said
Please see :
and this is a know fetchmail reported issue via postfix
from : https://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-FAQ.html
O5. Why is fetched mail being logged with my name, not the real From
address?
Because logging is done based on the address indicated by the sending
SMTP's MAIL FROM, and some listeners are picky about that address.
Some SMTP listeners get upset if you try to hand them a MAIL FROM
address naming a different host than the originating site for your
connection. This is a feature, not a bug -- it's supposed to help
prevent people from forging mail with a bogus origin site. (RFC 1123
says you shouldn't do this exclusion...)
Since the originating site of a fetchmail delivery connection is
localhost, this effectively means these picky listeners will barf on any
MAIL FROM address fetchmail hands them with an @ in it!
Versions 2.1 and up try the header From address first and fall back to
the calling-user ID. So if your SMTP listener isn't picky, the log will
look right.
The above is what started all this in the first place?
Incoming email headers are correct from the server being popped.
So How do I ????
Versions 2.1 and up try the header From address first and fall back to

Happy Sunday !!!

unclear.
i have found various mapping functions via google none of which worked
or had no effect
Then, you are making a mistake. Which mistake?
