The answer is in the logs.
root ->
root@$myorigin ->
possible input stage rewrites, such as: canonical(5), virtual(5) ->
(localpart@somedomain, transport, nexthop)
So if transport is not "local" or "localpart" is not "root" or you
never ran "postalias" to update your aliases database, then the
alias is not seen.

For a null-client configuration example with rewriting for root,
and the like.
