As little as I know about this area, I could point out that there are  
2 files that you need to be concerned with (main.cf & master.cf). The  
file that contains your IP addr. ( & mail relays, etc.) is "main.cf",  
and the safe way to edit "main.cf" is by using "postconf".

Secondly, /etc/aliases file is where you place your rt-mailgate bits (http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/ManualEmailConfig 
), but it has nothing to do with you IP addr.. Once you make your  
changes to your /etc/aliases file, then you need to go through a few  
steps to make sure the changes you made to the /etc/aliases database  
take effect (i.e.,:
	shell> sudo postalias /etc/aliases
	shell> sudo newaliases

Hope that helps
