To cut down on the confusion, I always recommend creating a hosted domain, and then create actual mailboxes for each alias I want to create. In it I create a .courier file to forward the mail where ever I want it to go. The ONLY aliases I create in the global alias file are those required by the system (like root, postmaster, etc).
