Make sure that local_domains contains only truly "local" things like the
hostname of the machine itself, aliases of that etc.

Then add

domains = +local_domains

to the system_aliases router.


By far the best way (and simplest, as it avoids confusion) of dealing with
situations like this is to maintain a complete separation between your
"virtual" and "local" domains, meaning that a delivery to a user only
takes place when an alias in a "virtual" domain file redirects to
user@localhost or similar.
