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).

Just to clarify why this is a bit of a problem to me. cron keeps on
sending email to root (not root@localhost or root@xxxxxxxxxxxxx). I'd
rather have the output from my crontabs delivered locally.
