/etc/aliases forwarding to wrong user

[Tom Rymes <trymes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks, new to the list, so let me know if I should post to a 
different forum....

I have a RedHat 8.0 server running Sendmail. I am trying to forward 
mail addressed to local users and am having no luck.

If I create a .forward file in the users' home directories, nothing 
happens, all mail is still delivered locally. If I create an alias in 
/etc/aliases, I have a different problem. Basically, I put a line in 
/etc/aliases as follows:

localuser: 	user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The problem is that if I send mail to localuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx it is 
forwarded to the local user user1, not to user1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Any ideas?

Tom
