To triple check my sanity, I created a brand new VM and confirmed the
behavior.

So anyone should be able to easily reproduce this.

* Fresh CentOS 8.4 install
* Choose "Minimal" base environment
* Defaults for everything else

# yum -y update
# yum -y install postfix mailx
# systemctl start postfix
# echo "somealias: /tmp/somefile" >> /etc/aliases && newaliases
# echo "test" | mail somealias@localhost
# ls /tmp/somefile
