.forward email address not used by postfix

[jeajea]

I thought I had postfix setup correctly until an email was sent to root.
I created a user account “fw-mail” for mail forwarding. Using that account I created a .forward file with

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mymail@gmail.com ')

in /home/fw-mail. In aliases I have
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Root: fw-mail')

And I ran newaliases to update the database.
When mail is sent to root it goes to fw-mail and then is relayed to gmail.com using

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'to=<fw-mail@home.test> ')

instead of my email address. Gmail then sends me a delivery failure (as it shoud).

What about putting this in /etc/postfix/aliases
root: whatever@gmail.com
Run newaliases after edit

[jeajea]

Thank you very much.
It worked
I had tried this configuration before but must have had some other error.

Probably many ways of doing this, users wouldn't have access to this, just guessing but maybe ~/.mailrc too
