Description

We've found a bug/malfunction in the actual (maybe also the prev.) version(s) of 2024-04. 

The sender based transport map is ignored, if the mail is getting forwarded due to an alias. 

For example:
A sender based transport map is set to send mails via mailout.itcompany.de for the whole domain customer.de. The emailaddress user@customer.de is configured as an alias to forward all mails to user@gmail.com. If sender@randomcompany.de is sending an email to user@customer.de, the email gets forwarded to user@gmail.com. But the email is forwarded by the mailcow host machine (f.e. mailcow.itcompany.de) and not by mailout.itcompany.de (as given in the sender based transport map). As a mailcow admin, i would expect, that every mail for the domain customer.de is send by the configured sender based transport map and not by the mailcow host itself.

The given example shows you that gmail.com will maybe reject the mail because the sending server is the mailcow.itcompany.de instead of mailout.itcompany.de (which is configured as spf record because it's the main sending system for customer.de domain).

Logs:

We've checked all the logs of the mailout systems and the forwarded mail couldn't found in the logs. We've found the log only in the mailcow host log which sent it directly to the alias recipient (gmail). You can find the original log (but anonymized) below. This is the log of the mailcow host and not of the server configured in the sender based transport map, because nothing is found on that. The details of the error, given by gmail, are irrelevant. It just brought it to our attention that the mail is sent by the mailcow host, which hasn't a correct ipv6 ptr record configured, because it isn't sending emails usually.
