It does not get sent.  It does not leave anything in any log that I can find.  It does not even seem to time out.  I think I waited at least five minutes while it tried to send a message to a virtual user @localhost.

As root execute test command below:
sendmail -d60.5 -d27.2 -bv hacwebstore

-d60.5 should trace map lookups (including mailertable)
-d27.2 should trace alias expansion

Most likely you should among other things fix R= and S= part of dovecot
mailer to make it strip envelope recipient domain.
S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
