Hi John,
That is quite surprising, as Virtualmin does run newaliases after every
alias is created or modified. However, there was one thing I didn't
understand about your bug report - all Virtualmin mail aliases have an
entry in /etc/mail/virtusertable , and possibly one in /etc/aliases too
in forwarding to multiple destinations.

Did you create these aliases using only the Virtualmin module?
