Qmail local aliases

I'm trying to set up internal aliases for local users via:

echo email@email.com > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-root
echo email@email.com > /var/qmail/alias/.qmail-mailer-daemon
chmod 644 /var/qmail/alias/.qmail*

.. etc

This works on other Qmail set up servers, just not my plesk server which is obviously using Qmail.

And yes, I did use a real email address and not email@email.com.

To test it, I ran "mail root" as a locla user. The email did not get through nor can I find anything in the maillogs.

I ran "mail email@email.com" which worked perfectly. So it's something to do with the aliases, I just don't know what is different between the Plesk/Normal Qmail installations.
