The following entry was added to the default entries (postmaster: root etc.) of the /etc/aliases: root: xxxx-ad...@abcd.de It was mapped with "newaliases"/" postalias" and postfix was reloaded/restarted, then it was tested with "postmap -q root hash:/etc/aliases". But if the system is now actually sending mail to root (for example cron, but also mail send via "mailx"), it will still go to "root@##MYORIGIN##" and not to the one listed in /etc/aliases.
Does #postconf alias_database confirm that /etc/aliases is the file to be used? wolfgang
