/etc/aliases are only checked for local domains in mydestination, not for relay_domains. For that you need virtual_alias_maps.
The real question is why do you have a relay_domain, when the domain should be a local domain?
No clue why I apparently have a relay domain setup/turned on somewhere. I'm using a default main.cf from postfix as it was installed from YaST... then I tweaked it to add values for mydomain, myhostname, relayhost, smtp_sasl_auth_enable. This is currently working perfectly for my primary user, and the first alias I defined for that user. What main.cf setting enables a relay domain?
The Default for relay_domains is: postconf -d relay_domains relay_domains = $mydestination Meaning, that all subdomains listed in mydestination become relay_domains. Check that the domain you wish to receive as a local domain is included in mydestination. Also set relay_domains to an empty value to disable the subdomain trap. relay_domains =
The relayhost setting is for my SMTP relay for outbound... and this is being routed correctly through my DynDSN Mail relay (ie I can send from mailx, and KMail via the Mail Relay I have with DynDNS).
I only got looking into this late last night because I noticed that the other default aliases were not working... mail sent to root, postmaster, abuse etc is never delivered.. instead it was bouncing. the only mail getting through is to my primary user and the first alias I defined.
I have run newaliases after adding new test aliases in/etc/aliases.
I also looked into the /etc/postfix/virtual setup, and tried adding a few test aliases there... but with no effect that I can see.
I can't see anything either, literally, as I do not see through your eyes. In other words: I can't help if I don't know how you set up Postfix. The output of "postconf -n" should be sufficient. -- Sandy List replies only please!
