After a recent upgrade I discovered that /etc/aliases is not working. 
Local users are working as expected. As a part of the upgrade I 
activated virus scanning and spam scoring,
All mail to aliases is not delivered.  There seems to be some kind of a 
loop, but I don't see it..

There is a part of the failure message below. The server is 
smtp.steinmetznet.com and mail is addressed to user at steinmetznet.com. 
The line in /etc/aliases for the message below is

accounting : accounting, debbie, rob

All users are local users. It used to work just fine honest.
