Yes, exactly. Because alias expansion is the local(8) delivery agent, any
retries are necessarily for the entire alias, not just the failed part.
And the problem only happens when "directfoobarmail.com" is a local
address.

No, that would be severely broken. Seperate real recipients fail
or succeed independently.

If my response solves your problem, the best way to thank me is to not

"It worked, thanks" in the "Subject" so I can delete these quickly.
