When $myorigin is not local (is not listed in $mydestination), you must
put a local domain qualified on all aliases that you want to deliver
locally:

        root: jamylessome.local.domain
        postmaster: rootsome.local.domain

This said, it is far better to set myorigin == $myhostname, and to
ensure that $myhostname is listed in $mydestination on any host
which performs local mail delivery.

Use masquerade_domains (and if necessary canonical_maps) to rewrite the
headers and envelope so that outbound mail carries the desired domain
qualifier.
