The self-referencing aliases are not added by the catch-all patch, it only
fixes the admin scripts so that the alias is made by default for new users
and if you alter a current user.  so you will need to go to the email
settings for each user without one and click save so the virtusertable
is updated (and the user->user alias is created).  It will not show up in
the ui, but if you do want to see if it is there run:

grep "username" /etc/virtusertable

and look for a line such as:

username@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx	username

if there isn't one of these lines for a user then their mail will be
intercepted by the catch-all.

when did this start happening?  there doesn't appear to be any load on
the system so it must be something with the scripts that is unhappy.  is
there anything in the error logs or is there anything else going wrong
with the script operation?
