I mentioned before that you need an owner- alias for the "final" alias when your aliases are nested. Thus, if one aliase expands into the names of N aliases, each of those N aliases needs an owner- alias. And I did test that it will forward mail to a new queue file, too. /etc/aliases: prealias: alias alias: wietse owner-alias: whatever Sending mail to "prealias" results in mail forwarding to a new queue file: Sep 22 12:54:22 hostname postfix/cleanup[3230]: B08A6924781: message-id=<20100922165422.ae80c924...@hostname.example.com> Sep 22 12:54:22 hostname postfix/local[3246]: AE80C924782: to=<preal...@hostname.example.com>, orig_to=<prealias>, relay=local, delay=0.01, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (forwarded as B08A6924781) Sep 22 12:54:22 hostname postfix/qmgr[3224]: B08A6924781: from=<owner-al...@hostname.example.com>, size=498, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 22 12:54:22 hostname postfix/qmgr[3224]: AE80C924782: removed Sep 22 12:54:22 hostname postfix/local[3246]: B08A6924781: to=<wie...@hostname.example.com>, relay=local, delay=0, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to file: /dev/null) Sep 22 12:54:22 hostname postfix/local[3246]: B08A6924781: to=<wie...@hostname.example.com>, relay=local, delay=0.01, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) Sep 22 12:54:22 hostname postfix/qmgr[3224]: B08A6924781: removed
