Greetings list,
With the following config, with the secondary domain anonymized to
bd.net: https://batteen.com/smtpd.conf.txt
and "fem: john" contained within /etc/mail/aliases
%{dest.user} is not expanding to the post-alias address as I
expected. Emails to f...@batteen.com (it's my power company so I can
tell if they sold my email, not anything creepy) are being delivered
to /var/mail/batteen.com/fem/Maildir instead of
/var/mail/batteen.com/john/Maildir as I expected.

Man smtpd.conf explains: "alias <table> Use the mapping table for
aliases(5) expansion." which to me implies that "%{dest.user} user
part after expansion" would be the user after processing through
aliases. However, in order to get the expected behavior, I must use
%{user.username} instead.
I'm guessing that I've misinterpreted the man page, and would
appreciate correction in my understanding, but on the off chance I
have discovered undesired behavior, I bring it to the list. If
anything else in my config is less than ideal, I would appreciate
feedback.
Thank you very much for your time,
John Batteen
It could very well be a dovecot issue. What does your "action" line look
like for delivering mail.
