To take advantage of (commit acts of indecency with?) the local aliases file, you need to ensure that system accounts which are qualified with $myorigin are resolved to the local(8) mailer by virtue of $myorigin being one of the domains in $mydestination.My advice is to convert all the Debian stock aliases(5) entries to virtual(5) entries drop $myorigin/$myhostname from mydestionation and move on. Just set: mydestination = localhost, localhost.$mydomain and rewrite only addresses that need special processing (list-manager managed mailing lists mostly) to @localhost. All other rewriting can be based on virtual aliases. Of course any account with an actual local mailbox (or that relies on procmail or .forward files) still needs a rewrite to @localhost.
Okay thanks, I'll spare me the trouble and exclusively use virtual entries, just as you suggested. After all, I don't think any local user will be added in future anyways.
