Did you set up the aliases correctly? What MTA are you using. The format
of the aliases for Sendmail and for Postfix are slightly different, and
for postfix, you must remove the colons (:). Other than that they are
the same. 

You can also look at your MTA logs to help determine what the problem
is. The mail log is in /var/log, and depending on your distribution or
Unix variant, it may be a bit different, but it will have a log of every
message recevied and sent by your system.
