I recently started to play with Proxmox Mail Gateway for outbound spam pre-filter before handling it to MailChannels for final delivery and its working fine except for a weird issue:

If a mail goes to quarantine and I click on Delivery because it was a false positive, the sender changes to postmaster@my-pmg-hostname, is this by design, a bug or something wrong I'm my config?

It's by design and hardcoded that way - the rationale being that if something goes wrong while delivering a mail from the quarantine it's probably better to inform the admin of PMG than the original sender - additionally in case it is indeed spam you don't want to inform the spammer

I hope that explains it!
