Virtual rewriting does not affect the message headers, but canonical
rewriting does.
Quoting http://www.postfix.org/ADDRESS_REWRITING_README.html#virtual:
"The [virtual] mapping affects only envelope recipient addresses;
it has no effect on message headers or envelope sender addresses."

Yes.. thanks for clarifying; I noticed that prior to migrating from my old=
=20
system (which I did not host), mail headers would be as follows:
Return-Path: <jo...@example.com>
X-Original-To: sv...@whohasit.com
Delivered-To: sv...@whohasit.com
Instead of:
Return-Path: <jo...@example.com>
X-Original-To: sv...@whohasit.com
Delivered-To: postm...@whohasit.com
I realize the newer practice may be more accurate, but it just created issu=
es=20
with some clientside filters while testing and I can only suspect it will=20
effect system user filters once this is migrated into production... (they=20
might scream and moan).
I'll do some more research.
Thanks,
Bryan
