Some correspondents have kolab_user at kolab_server instead of From address in their replies

Hello,

1. I think you must check in your account settings what is set in Replay 
to address. This should be checked on all devices/clients.
Also check your sent message for Return-Path: and envelope-from headers.

2. Recipient policy, if it is not disabled, defines secondary e-mail 
<https://docs.kolab.org/administrator-guide/configuring-the-kolab-server.html#secondary-email-address-recipient-policy-example> 
and this e-mail address is set as alias in LDAP for your primary 
address. You can browse LDAP dit to check if it exists. Although postfix 
may be not configured to search for it in its configuration. Something 
misconfigured in query_filter in /etc/postfix/ldap/virtual_alias_maps.cf 
or main.cf I suppose.

Regards
V. Laskov
