No, both SMTP submission and local submission via sendmail(1) place a
message in the Postfix queue via the cleanup service. Alias processing
happens the same way in both cases, since nothing in Postfix later
depends on how the message came in with the following (non-default)
exceptions:
- content_filter settings may be depend on how a message arrives
- "receive_override_options" may be set to disable rewriting in
some smtpd(8) or pickup instances as described in FILTER_README.
If alias processing is observed to be incomplete for local submission,
either you are not using the Postfix sendmail(1) interface (you've
posted no logs, so we can't tell) or you have receive_override_options
or content_filters settings or a combination of the two that get in the
way.
