You can do this with rewriting. I just set this up today so its fresh
:)
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_generic_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/generic
then create /etc/postfix/generic with something like this:
user@xxxxxxxxxxxxx account@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
and run 'postmap /etc/postfix/generic
Now if the mail is for root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx it will be delivered
according to your aliases file. Mail for user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx will
be sent to respective address with rewriten From:
I can't seem to make it do what I want it to, which would be the exact
opposite of what you're doing. My problem was that
% /usr/lib/sendmail root << EOF
Subject: test
Test
EOF
Would result in a mail being sent to root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx What I wanted
was a locally delivered email (according to the /etc/aliases file).
After some research I added the following to my /etc/postfix/main.cf:
mydestination = $myhostname, localhost
That resulted in local delivery for mail sent to root@localhost and
root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (and /etc/aliases is used for that :-).
I don't understand how is that different than your original config, but
if it works ... :)

Andrei
