Howdy all!  I'm having a fun mail aliases weirdness, and was wondering
if any of you wise triluggers have any suggestions of what might be
going on.  I'm just now setting up my own mail server on
electronsweatshop.com.  My real username on my mail machine is rpbarlow.
 So, [EMAIL PROTECTED] seems to work just fine!  In the
aliases file, I have two entries that are of interest to this e-mail:

root:  rpbarlow
randy: rpbarlow

So when I send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it does indeed
end up in my mail box.  Great!  But when I send an e-mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it disappears into the ether (unless it's
just taking a really long time for some reason...)  Interestingly, if I
send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I see the following in my
logs (booty is the name of my mail machine, because it, well... boots :)):

Nov 27 01:12:01 booty postfix/local[508]: 5FB8D344D2E:
to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
orig_to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=sent
(delivered to command: /usr/bin/procmail)

Something very similar ends up in the logs for the successful root@
e-mails, so I really can't decipher what the difference is.  Any ideas?
