Unsurprising. See http://www.postfix.org/canonical.5.html for an  
explanation what the canonical mapping really is for (clearly not what  
you're expecting it to do).

You should probably be using http://www.postfix.org/aliases.5.html or  
http://www.postfix.org/virtual.5.html to do this.

This is not a Horde problem, if you need more help, you really should  
be asking this on a Postfix related mailinglist.
