I have a postfix + dovecot with a spamassassin doing some content filtering on the postfix side. The problem is that with a recent update the originally available sendmail binary was replaced with the sendmail.postfix binary. Which seems to work differently with recipient information.
Here are some information about the configuration:
master.cf
<external ip>:submission inet n - - - - smtpd
-o content_filter=spamassassin
-o cleanup_service_name=pre-cleanup
127.0.0.1:smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
[...]
spamassassin unix - n n - - pipe
flags=Rq user=spamd argv=/usr/bin/spamc -f -e /usr/sbin/sendmail -oi -f ${sender} ${recipient}
And the slightly anonymized log output which shows the actual problem:

When the E-Mail is first received the original recipient(postmaster@domain) is resolved to the actual recipient(admin@domain) and the existence of that user is checked with dovecot. Which is fine and returns a success. The E-Mail is then send through the content-filter which requeues the E-Mail with postfix via the local port. But instead of using the actual recipient it's now the original recipient again which of course is not found in the dovecot database.
This error did not occur with the original sendmail binary which probably was from the sendmail project. I tried various flags with the pipe in master.cf without any positive results. I would greatly appreciate your help.
