I only have one domain, so my config wouldn't help you.  However, from
your original e-mail, 

"But for company B when the mail is send directly from the server box
(logged on as company_b_user) the from address shows correctly i.e.
company_b_user at companyb.com."

Success mapping company_b_user to company_b_user at companyb.com when mail
is sent locally.

"When that user sends mail from his outlook at home and relays thru the
server the from address shows up as company_b_user at companya.com"

Not successful mapping company_b_user to company_b_user at companyb.com
when mail is relayed.  In fact, mail in outlook has
company_b_user at companyb.com which is mapped to
company_b_user at companya.com.  Is this right?

Could you post your genericstable file?  I think the solution may lie
there.
