"Sender's name remains www.secondary.org/webmail"? That makes no sense.
What external account are you talking about?

Last time I looked, SquirrelMail did not out of the box support multiple
domains very well. If SquirrelMail feeds Postfix with the wrong address
to start with, there's not much Postfix can do to fix it (canonical
rewriting works if the localpart namespace is globally unique, i.e. if
there cannot be foo@domain1 if foo@domain2 exists).
