Your /etc/aliases must look like: root: [email protected] >From man page: user-part@domain-part An email address in RFC 5322 format. If an address extension is appended to the user-part, it is first compared for an exact match. It is then stripped so that an address such as [email protected] will only use the part that precedes `+' as a key.
