Thanks Hal, for the clarification. sudo postalias
/etc/aliases and sudo postfix reload all ran without

Mutt (no Mailbox) and /var/mail/lchata is not a

it be?

OK, here's what I would do next -- manually create mail and look at
the logs. Do ...

$ echo hello there |mail -s lchata

You might have to install the mailx package. This will generate a
mail. Then look at the mailbox. If no mail, look at postfix's logs.
This is what mine look like when root mail is redirected to my $USER
account:
