"domains mismatch" is just the check for the domains option in the
routers, it means "Ok, the domain of the address is not in my domains=
domainlist, let's skip this router".

This looks a little bit strange to me. Why do u use an ${expand:} here?
Are you sure that mailer-daemon is in the aliases.cdb?
Be careful, cdb is case sensitive, so if you have Mailer-Daemon in it the
lookup will fail!

If you use a * in your aliases.cdb to catch everything you need to use
cdb* as lookup type instead of cdb.

If this hint's doesn't solve your problem, please show the system_alias
router configuration, and the aliases file.
