Have you used the commands _postalias_ and _postmap_ after changing these
files? I do not known postfix well but I do not know, too why my aliases
don't work, even postfix stop/start doesn't help, till I run _postalias_.
postalias /etc/aliases
postmap /etc/postfix/virtual

AFAIunderstood does postfix do not use /etc/aliases /etc/postfix/virtual
directly. postaliases /etc/aliases creates its own db /etc/aliases.db
which is be used by postfix.

man postalias
man postmap

I'm not shure if this is the key, but hopes it helps.

Greetings,
rob
