Hi,

I have successfully set up Postfix (2.11.0) together with Dovecot (2.2.9), 
which works perfectly for normal user accounts.

Now I have tried to set up a small distribution list by adding the following 
line to /etc/aliases:

update:         :include:/etc/postfix/listen/update

Of course, I did not forget to call newaliases afterwards.

But when I send a mail to this address, /var/log/mail.log contains the 
following messages:

Mar  4 11:34:35 s18169204 postfix/qmgr[18969]: 3A3AA2C70A7B8: 
from=<s.guent...@in-put.de>, size=3076, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Mar  4 11:34:35 s18169204 postfix/pipe[24898]: 3A3AA2C70A7B8: 
to=<upd...@xxxxxxx.de>, relay=dovecot, delay=151689, delays=151689/0.02/0/0.02, 
dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure)


The alias, virtual and dovecot parameters in /etc/postfix/main.cf are the 
following:

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
virtual_transport = dovecot
virtual_alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual/mysql-aliases.cf
virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual/mysql-maps.cf
virtual_mailbox_domains = mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual/mysql-domains.cf
local_recipient_maps = $virtual_mailbox_maps
virtual_transport = dovecot
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1

What could be the reason, that /etc/aliases is ignored? The mail domain is only 
defined in virtual_mailbox_domains, not in mydestination

Thanks for any hint or suggestion,

Stefan
