Check into `Masquerade envelope' and Masquerade as:

MASQUERADE_AS(myisp.com)dnl
dnl ( your isp mailmachine domain in above [domain only])dnl
FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl

this should make you `envelope' information appear to be that of your
ISP mail machine and thereby allow lookups to succeed.
