I'm trying to create an alias to one of the user but it just would'nt  work.

on the aliases file i put the ff.
 sample:
      * aliases file
        ...
        ...
        root:   user1, user2
        webmaster:   user1, user2               *(this is the alias i want to setup)
        ...
        ...

if i test it on the local server and just mail to webmaster, it works the two users both receive
the mail. but when i put the whole e-mail address, it just goes to first user(user1).
        mail   webmaster     ...ok
        mail  webmaster@mail.domain.com         ...works ok too.
        mail  webmaster@domain.com ... only goes to user1

on ohter client using eudora:
        To:  webmaster@mail.domain.com  ...works ok too.
        To:  webmaster@domain.com ... only goes to user1

btw, 

        mail server:    mail.domain.com
        web server:    web.domain.com

on our dns server:  domain.com

        @       IN      SOA     ns1.domain.com. admin.domain.com. (
                                                1999020310      ; Serial
                                                10800   ; Refresh
                                                1800    ; Retry
                                                604800  ; Expire
                                                86400 ) ; ttl

                                        IN      NS      ns1.domain.com.
                                        IN      NS      ns2.domain.com.
                                        IN      MX      20 ns2.domain.com.
                                        IN      MX      10 ns1.domain.com.
                                        IN      MX      1 mail.domain.com.
                                        IN      A         192.168.2.11


        mail            IN     A         192.168.2.8
        web             IN     A          192.168.2.11

        www             IN     CNAME web.domain.com.
        ...
        ...


everything works except for this alias webmaster. is there something special with webmaster?
or is it possible to redirect all mail to a particular alias or user directly w/o using aliases?

one more thing, even if i removed webmaster on the aliases,
it still goes to user1.


thanks in advance.


regards to all,
nino.
