Have you solved this yet? This problem sounds... odd. I'm using Postfix with a relay host and not experiencing this. I believe the /etc/aliases file is only consulted for local delivery, and mail sent to root is always local (or should be). In my experience, sending mail to local users appends the local host name to the address. Do you have a transport table rule set up to forward all mail to the relay host? Maybe (and I have to ask) the user to whom you're forwarding root's mail has a .forward rule? -chris PS- Really enjoyed your intellectural property talk at SDLUG last night.
