To cut down on the confusion, I always recommend creating a hosted
domain, and then create actual mailboxes for each alias I want to
create. In it I create a .courier file to forward the mail where ever I
want it to go. The ONLY aliases I create in the global alias file are
those required by the system (like root, postmaster, etc).

It's a little extra work, but in the end, I opt for simplicity and
maintainability. And it's very easy to script with bash...
