When I remembered, I did "sudo service > postfix restart". Now mail isn't being forwarded to either addresses.
Since aliases changes would not take effect until newaliases is run then the restart causing problems would be due to other postfix configuration change other than aliases. Running newaliases will update the aliases database but I suspect whatever problem to continue since it would have been due to this other configuration anyway. The answer is almost certainly in the mail logs. What do they say? Look in /var/log/maillog and /var/log/messages files. Potentially use journalctl to dump out the systemd logs. Look with 'mailq' to see what is still in the queue. Bob
