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.

Partial Falure Notice;

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
