hmm.  on my machine at least..

darren at bacall darren $ grep ^alias_maps /etc/postfix/main.cf
alias_maps = hash:/etc/mail/aliases

bacall root # postconf -d | grep alias_maps
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, nis:mail.aliases
local_recipient_maps = proxy:unix:passwd.byname $alias_maps
proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination
$virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps
$virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains
$canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps
$relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks
virtual_alias_domains = $virtual_alias_maps
virtual_alias_maps = $virtual_maps


Postfix is certainly working in terms of correct delivery to aliases.
Does my config look wrong or just unusual do you think?
