About aliases, log mail redirecting for various purposes

First of all thanks in advance and excuse my english.

A few weeks ago I asked how to forward the mails from my hp-ux root
to my mail, so editing /etc/aliases worked

vi /etc/aliases
add or change the line like this
root:..what ever is already there..., user@yourworkstation

I need a second user to be forward oracleX user so I tried this way
, but didn't work. So can any one tell me how could I redirect this
second account? Thanks, I'm a newbie in hp-ux and this will simplify
my work.

# Alias for mailer daemon
MAILER-DAEMON : root
root : adm@xxxxxxxxx
oracleX : adm@xxxxxxxxx

# RFC 822 requires that every host have a mail address "postmaster"
postmaster : root

# Aliases to handle mail to msgs and news
nobody : /dev/null

# System Admistration aliases
operator : root
uucp : root
daemon : root
