Hello all,
I am attempting to relay mail from one of my systems to my
gmail-hosted account. This is working OK except for one catch:
mail sent to users whom have aliases in /etc/aliases do not get
properly mapped to the correct user.
For example my /etc/aliases file has the following:
postmaster: root
root: brandon
Don't use /etc/aliases or mydestination for non-local domains.
Domains that are relayed elsewhere for delivery should be listed in
relay_domains and nowhere else. Valid recipients must be listed in
relay_recipient_maps, with aliases listed in virtual_alias_maps.

Thanks for the reply Noel. Does this mean I need to duplicate each of
my /etc/aliases in my new /etc/postfix/virtual_aliases file? I notice
that the virtual_alias_maps file format is simply "recipient
finaldestinationrecipient" rather than the format of /etc/aliases which
was "recipient: finaldestinationrecipient" (colon in aliases, no colon
in virtual aliases).
Does this mean I need to make my virtual alias map look something like:
postmaster root
cron root
root myu...@mydomain.com
?
Thanks again,
Brandon
