I know that if a "owner-" alias is present, alias expansion isn't done on every delivery attempt but instead the alias is expanded and the result of that expansion is saved, at least according to this thread: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2009-06/0396.html I could be terribly wrong, though.
