 Should it be the same as that of /etc/email-addresses?
 
 Is there a way to use wildcards, in order to redirect all mail to system
 users to a real user account? 

It is just another alias file. And no, there is no wildcard mechanism.
If you want all system users redirected, just don't use the lowuid
mechanism.

 For some reason, the change seems to have broken the use of
 /etc/email-addresses. At present, mail to root ends in the bitbucket.

Can you please show this in debug output?

Greetings
Marc

OK, thanks. I suggest to have this piece of information integrated into
README.Debian

Forget about it. It was a local glitch caused by something else.

Thanks,

Johannes
