In a nutshell: 1. In /etc/mail/aliases I had a line myusername: foo@bar.com 2. I changed the line to: myusername: bar@foo.com This worked out as it supposed. 3. I removed the whole line This is when things started to get weird. My mail is again forwarded to foo@bar.com After every change I executed "newaliases and /etc/init.d/postfix reload". Something I'm doing wrong or is this a bug? It's the same behavior with both the stable and ~arch versions.

Please, read the documentation. You failed to run newaliases. http://www.postfix.org/aliases.5.html
If I create a whole new user, everything works as it is supposed. But with the old one it gets allways forwarded to the first address.

Please, stop recycling this bug for various configuration issues, thanks.
