Bear in mind that processing of virtual alias table is recursive. So: the first time, user2firstn...@domain2.com is rewritten to user2firstname.lastn...@domain1.com (i.e. the 'myorigin' is appended, I am guessing domain1.com is set in /etc/mailname) Because a change occurred this is then passed back through the same file and (unless you remove the @domain1.com catchall) gets rewritten to user1firstname.lastn...@domain1.com
