Auto-Reply not working with alias

        I have a working auto-reply recipe, but I just noticed that if you have
an alias set up ( in /etc/mail/aliases) it does not send an auto-reply
message out for the alias. I'm confused on why. Below is my current
.procmailrc. I originally thought it was the X-Loop lines so I changed
"name(_at_)domain(_dot_)net" to "*(_at_)domain(_dot_)net", but it still did not 
reply to the
alias. I'm beginning to wonder if the alias bypasses my .procmailrc all
together. 

Any help or reference will be greatly appreciated.


# more .procmailrc

SHELL=/bin/sh    # for other shells, this might need adjustment
