Hi, I'm currently having some trouble setting up an alias for the root user on several Redhat machines.
Although I the alias was set using newaliases and postalias and although postmap -q is telling me the alias is ok, postfix keeps sending root mails to "root@##MYORIGIN##". The following entry was added to the default entries (postmaster: root etc.) of the /etc/aliases: root: [email protected] It was mapped with "newaliases"/" postalias" and postfix was reloaded/restarted, then it was tested with "postmap -q root hash:/etc/aliases". But if the system is now actually sending mail to root (for example cron, but also mail send via "mailx"), it will still go to "root@##MYORIGIN##" and not to the one listed in /etc/aliases. >From the logs: May 26 15:15:52 ##### postfix/qmgr[22268]: 5B001895D: from=<root@##MYORIGIN## >, size=453, nrcpt=1 (queue active) May 26 15:15:52 ##### postfix/smtp[22736]: 5B001895D: to=<root@##MYORIGIN##>, orig_to=<root>, relay=mail. ##MYORIGIN## [###.###.###.###]:25, delay=0.28, delays=0.11/0.01/0.07/0.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 Message accepted for delivery)
