I have a mail relay (mx2.mycorp.com)which accepts mail for somelist@lists.mycorp.com. These posts are forwarded to a Sympa mailing list server which accepts postings for the mycorp.com domain.

This has been working for quite some time on an older version of Sympa and Ubuntu 14.04 but the problem is both stacks have needed upgrades and deprecation in both pieces of software have broken much of the setup.

I'm starting over with Ubuntu 18.04 but can't quite figure out how to get postfix transports for lists.mycorp.com working for relaying to the Sympa server in a way that sympa will accept the posting for the mailing list. Right now the sympa server is simply relaying the posting out to the egress mail server because it's not configured to accept mail for 'lists.mycorp.com(onlymycorp.com`). This was configured for vanity reasons; the stakeholders in the project don't want a subdomain for their mailing lists.

Is there a way to get postfix to rewrite the destination domain after it's figured out where it needs to relay the message?

I don't know if the article I wrote is related to this problem, yet I had a similar problem on upgrading tu ubuntu 22.04 and replacing mailman2 and I had to document the solution so here it is, with links to other solutions:
