I actually have a similar setup- but i use a combination of Zimbra and
Exchange. I'm having a bit of a problem with Zimbra that perhaps someone
here can give me advice on.

The question isn't Zimbra specific, but more about general email servers...

My frontend postfix server has all of the accounts in the domain aliased to
their necessary backend servers... ie.

user at domain.com user at server1.domain.com
user at domain.com user at server2.domain.com

The gateway works great, for the most part- the problem is that Zimbra
doesn't send out out-of-office responses because the RCPT TO: in the
envelope doesn't match the TO: in the headers! I guess this behavior is by
design, so that mailing lists don't get sent out-of-office messages... But
it screws me!

So, my question- should i try to figure out how to get my Postfix gateway to
rewrite the headers? Or should i try to coax Zimbra into thinking that the
TO: header is valid?
