And what is in your alias table, please report the output of:

    $ id ken

    $ postconf mail_version append_dot_mydomain \
        alias_maps alias_database local_recipient_maps mydomain myhostname 
myorigin mydestination

    $ postmap -fq - unix:passwd.byname hash:/etc/aliases <<'EOF'
    k...@macserve.home
    k...@home.home
    ken@home
    ken
    EOF

Postfix does not read /etc/passwd, it uses getpwname(3), which should
match against Open Directory.
