Postfix and aliases

[Gary Hodges]

Kubuntu 6.10 AMD64

I have the following in /etc/aliases

testalias:      valid.address at address.com

If I issue the command:
<nail -s "subject" -r valid.address at address.com testalias>
and then send the mail it bounces on recipient testalias at address.com

The following works:
<nail -s "subject" valid.address at address.com>

I've run "sudo newaliases"

>sudo postconf -d | grep aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
