That log output appears to be entirely normal.  In the case where the
alias is not being applied, it's just as if there's no (or an empty)
alias file there.

You do seem to have a stray tab character in your aliases file --
which results in the appearance of this:

> to=3Dtoomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee\t,=20
                             ^^

But that shouldn't cause any of the effects you've been seeing.

Have you customized the `hostname`.mc file at all?  If you have, could
you port it here?

	Cheers,

	Matthew
