Are you using system users or virtual users in your system? /etc/aliases are 
for system users in the system. You may be looking for virtual_alias_maps 
instead?

Subject: Postfix, mailman, and aliases problem

Hi list,

I recently migrated our mailman server from an old SLES 11 box to Ubuntu 
16.04.3 LTS, and installed Mailman from the Ubuntu repositories along with 
Postfix and other prerequisites. Mailman itself is working fine, but I have a 
handful of regular email aliases in /etc/aliases which do not receive mail, and 
when examining the logs, get bounced with a “User unknown” error. What did I 
screw up?

(I’ve checked my aliases and they’re good, and I’ve run the newaliases command 
numerous times).

Cheers,
James
