  When an address is processed, it goes through some rewriting, and the
rewritten result (assuming the address is local) is used to look up
aliases.  For consistency, an alias in the alias file must be rewritten
the same way before storing in the alias database, otherwise it might
not be recognized.

  Incidently, your problem is not that the addresses contain an '@',
but that when processed by ruleset 0, they do not select the local
mailer.
