In the future, show log entries instead of this.

This is a message from the receiving server. I suppose you had
expected that spam@frlcpa.com would be rewritten to spam@spam.spam 
(or whatever it was), but this did not happen since the local alias
rewriting takes place in local(8), which you have disabled.

You can use a virtual alias to rewrite the address. Remove the
domains you forward to 192.168.0.1 from mydestination and add
them to relay_domains instead.

I guess my real question is this then, what is the best way to set this
up without breaking what is already working. If I might prevail upon you
further, help me understand what would happen if I didn't disable local
alias rewriting. How would that affect what I already have setup. I
don't have a problem turning the local transport back on if it won't
break the regular mail delivery I already have.  I had thought to use a
virtual domain and use something like virtual.mydomain3.com as the
domain that would deliver locally. The domain would be bogus and not
valid outside my box. I also worried about what issues that might cause.
Thanks for all your help.  Andre
