I am trying to get mmdf to deliver mail to full.named users
as well as user ids.  I have my mailids and users files set up
as below:

mailids:

john.pettitt	jpp
j.pettitt	jpp
pettitt	jpp
jpettitt	jpp
jpp	jpp

users:

jpp	john.pettitt

alias.user

jpp:	jpp@bugs.specialix.co.uk

If I mail to john.pettitt@bugs.specialix.co.uk it works and the mail
gets delivered to the mailbox jpp.  If however I mail to
john.pettitt@arthur.specialix.co.uk then the mail is delivered to
the jpp mailbox on arthur ignoring the alias to bugs.  

What am I doing wrong ?  If I do checkaddr on a full.name then
it always resolves to a local delivery even if there is a remote
alias for that user.

This is causing me problems as I have several hosts acting as backup
MX to each other all of which should be able to deliver mail.

Comments ?
