what happened:

1) sent a message to username1@aliaseddomain, when username1@primarydomain is a mailbox, it arrives just fine in username1@primarydomain mailbox.

2) sent a message to username2@aliaseddomain, when there is only an alias for username2@primarydomain. bounce back occurred with "user unknown".

3) added an alias for username2@aliaseddomain to match the forwarding addresses listed for username2@primarydomain alias. sending again and the email got delivered fine with this extra layer of aliasing aliases... seems like a redundant work-around. any suggestions?

Sorry. This is too confusing to figure out. If you're going to ask questions that use randomly-generated E-mail addresses, pulled out of thin air, then you should also employ a random number generator to find your answer.

Otherwise, you should post the actual contents of your configuration files (locals, hosteddomains, aliases, and so on), as well as the actual portions of your maillog/syslog files, that show what the problem is. Reading the repetitive occurences of "username1", "username2", "domain1", "domain2", "fooX", just makes one's eyes glaze over.
