did you run 'newaliases'? You shouldn't need to restart postfix to change an 
alias.

Subject: Postfix is no longer forwarding root mail after I changed the 
forwarding address

I have Postfix setup to automatically forward any mail that goes to root to an
external address. I just recently changed my email main email address from a
Tutanota one to a Mailbox.org one. I went into /etc/aliases and switched out
my addresses there, so now it looks like this:


> # See man 5 aliases for format
> postmaster: cassidy
>
> cassidy: poperi...@mailbox.org
> root: poperi...@mailbox.org
> clamav: root

After I did this, I forgot that I had to reload Postfix, so it was still
sending mail to my Tutanota account. When I remembered, I did "sudo service
postfix restart". Now mail isn't being forwarded to either addresses.
