Have you ever made this work, Carl?  If so, please tell us exactly what
you enter as the alias.  We've never been able to make it work; for
example, if we're in nobaloney.net, and put in admin as a user we create
an alias for admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, but that's not the same as the box's
admin account.  We've always done it exactly the way Gerald suggests,
which works fine.

(Except that we create a separate aliases file, which we call
aliases.local.)
