[PLUG] postfix alias not working for one user...

Hey folks, I have an email server, running postfix, with several email aliases setup for convenience. One such alias is "everyone", which, as you might guess, contains a list of everyone who has an email account on the server. The alias works for everyone except one user. In other words, if I send an email to everyone at mydomain.com (domain name has been replaced to protect the innocent), all the users in the everyone alias get the email except this one user. I have reviewed the /etc/postfix/aliases file and found no error. I have also tried moving the users name to a different location in the list of users for this alias and running newaliases, but still no luck. There is another alias that this user belongs to that works. Any ideas? How can I trace the distribution of an email with postfix? Can I turn on verbose logging or something? Is there a way to look into the aliases.db file, to see if there is an issue there?

Thanks,
