An adequate problem description contains the following elements: 1) Configuration: in this case, an example of an alias that does not work as expected, plus "postconf -n" configuration. 2) The command used to send mail to that alias. In this case, a Postfix sendmail command line, or a transcript of SMTP commands and responses. 3) The logging that results from sending mail to that alias. 4) **IMPORTANT** What you expected to happen instead.

Wietse The problem is, if I write a new alias and do what I describe into it and send an email it works. But the aliases, that were allready there and contain multiple entries somehow work differently. And the offsite delivery there does not happen, while local users do receive the mail addressed to the alias. The log does not contain errors or warning messages when that happens. postconf -n output is attached.

As documented, the right-hand side is a list of email addresses or other things. It is a good idea to specify an address including its domain - this avoids surprises when Postfix appends $myorigin. If there is any indication that the program does not behave according to the documentation, please describe the symptoms in a manner that allows the problem to be reproduced (i.e. configuration + logging).

Re: Alias Problem
Sahil, I have rechecked my configuration and googled for any root cause for this failure, i didn't find any clue. Before configuring SMTP-AUTH, i know mail are reaching outside when mail sent to alias, so i am planing to check disabling SMTP-AUTH. will update the result.
