All:
        I have recently compiled postfix for and SGI Indy machine running
IRIX 6.5.5. I used to use sendmail and I wanted to try to use antoher
mail client to see the difference.
        Now I have to manage mail for the machine as well as another
domain which uses this as a mail server. I have configured the main.cf
file to use a virtual table to do this.
        Basically everything works except for the aliases database.

        My problem in particular.

        I have an alias file that looks similar to this.

rootcsh:postmaster
rootsh:postmaster
setup:postmaster
powerdown:postmaster
sysadm:postmaster
daemon:postmaster
bin:postmaster
sys:postmaster
adm:postmaster
lp:postmaster
uucpws:postmaster

postmaster:root
root:cbeersbu.edu
logreaders:root

        There are more but I think you get the picture. Now here are the
variable which I set in the main.cf file.

myhostname = ubik.bu.edu
myorigin = bu.edu
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain
alias_maps = dbm:/etc/aliases
alias_database = dbm:/etc/aliases
local_destination_concurrency_limit = 2
default_destination_concurrency_limit = 10
virtual_maps = dbm:/etc/postfix/virtual

        Now my problem lies in the fact that the aliases logreaders and
root are not sent to me as defined in the aliases file. They are sent to
rootbu.edu which is another machine.
        Is there an easy way to fix this?
