You're mistaken about postfix. It does not rewrite the From headers in
the way you describe, unless you explicitly configured it to.

It will if it is very old (<2.2) OR if it has an organically-evolved configuration that has maintained backward-compatibility since 2.1. It is also possible in a "Before-Queue Content Filter" smtpd-proxy configuration that is commonly used with amavisd, if the after-filter smtpd isn't prevented from treating its input as local (see documentation of append_at_myorigin, which is on by default)

You should
change your postfix configuration, or verify the input data that postfix receives (maybe the addresses were already malformed before they entered
your system?

The easy way to catch these messages is to set your machine name to some
domain that never receives mail.

That's a good fix for a broader range of misbehaviors.
