I tried to create a new file, for the local domain, and placed alias definitions in there, but I was unable to get this to work properly. I created (for example) a localdomain.com file, and put the following entry in it:

ali@localdomain.com: real@localdomain.com

and then ran makealiases. However, email to this new alias is bounced "User Unknown"... I also tried using the webadmin interface to create the alias, which yielded a webadmin file in the aliases dir containing pretty much the same thing, but still to no avail.

Is "localdomain.com" a local domain (i.e. in your locals file)? If so, then it gets stripped off the address and your alias should look like this:

alias: realname
