I have what I think should be a simple setup that does not seem to be
using the /etc/aliases file.  I expect all mail sent to root to go to
[email protected] but it is going to [email protected]. Can anyone point me
in the right direction to getting this working?  Thanks in advance!

# /etc/postfix/main.cf
myhostname = hostname.domain.tld
myorigin = $mydomain
inet_interfaces = loopback-only
mydestination =

# /etc/aliases
root: [email protected]

# /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost
69.162.79.88     hostname.domain.tld hostname

root@hostname:~# postconf|grep alias_database
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases

root@hostname:~# newaliases

root@hostname:~# postfix reload

root@hostname:~# cat /etc/postfix/main.cf |mail -s "`date +'%r'`" root

root@hostname:~# tail /var/log/mail.log
