I couldn't find a related question after a quick search so posting here.</p>
<p dir="auto">After some digging it seems like the issue is that I've got the mailing lists pointing to aliases instead of the original email addresses for the intended recipients. When I swap in the actual username-emails it works fine.</p>
<p dir="auto">This just stopped working recently. I'd intended to use the aliases in order to prevent the cloudron login username from leaking, but the error message below actually says the issue is delivering to <code>username@undefined</code> versus <code>alias@undefined</code>, which kind of defeats that purpose.</p>
<p dir="auto">To reproduce:</p>
<ol>
<li>Identify two users to test with: <code>user_a</code>, <code>user_b</code>.</li>
<li>Create alias <code>alias_a</code> for <code>user_a</code> in a domain (e.g. <code>example.com</code>).</li>
<li>Create mailing list <code>my_mailing_list</code> in same domain.</li>
<li>Configure two recipients in mailing list: <code>alias_a@example.com</code>, <code>user_b@example.com</code>.</li>
<li>Send a test message to <code>my_mailing_list@example.com</code>.</li>
<li>Observe <code>user_b</code> receives the message, but <code>alias_a</code> / <code>user_a</code> does not, and sender receives an error referencing <code>user_a</code> instead of <code>alias_a</code>.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">Expected behavior:</p>
<ol>
<li><code>alias_a</code> can receive the message.</li>
</ol>
<p dir="auto">The error message:</p>
<pre><code>Hi. This is the Mailer program at my.example.com.

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message
    "{{email_subject}}"
to the following addresses.

This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Intended Recipients: &lt;{{user_a}}@undefined&gt;
Failure Reason: Error: Nowhere to deliver mail to for domain: undefined
</code></pre>
