I don't think spamassassin understands aliases. I've never used
spamass-milter, but judging by an online copy of its man page, I
suspect you may be missing the -x option.
-x' Pass the recipient address through sendmail -bv, which will
perform virtusertable and alias expansion. The resulting username
is then passed to spamc. Requires the -u flag.
