I'm willing to bet that most of your email addresses are virtual ones,
hitting this. And furthermore that you don't have the domain-name
included in the alias file. So the new local_parts are being qualified
with the default domain.

Add "qualify_preserve_domain" to that Router so that domain-less
addresses are qualified with their previous domain.
