I've recently set up a development server at my job to test out certain features. I am setting up exim4 to be the MTA for the server. However, when I test and send emails to my account on the server, even though I have multiple entries in /etc/aliases it only sends to one of the email addresses.
The entry is my /etc/aliases file is:
joshua: **@gmail.com, **@apps.gmail.com
Below is the output of tail /var/log/exim4/mainlog. I've changed the email addresses, but the rest of the data is the same. **@gmail.com is my regular gmail account, **@apps.gmail.com is a Google apps account for my job, and account@this.server is the server's domain name.

When I send a test email, it sends to my apps email address but not my gmail address.
I thought it might be an issue with exim4 not sending to multiple email addresses, so I changed the /etc/aliases file to only reflect my **@gmail.com email address but it also failed to send even though there were no specific errors in the mainlog.
I also tested to see if I could send emails directly to my gmail account. I ran the command
echo "Test" | mail -s "Subject" "**@gmail.com"
and it succeeded.
Basically, when I send an email to joshua@this.server it successfully sends an email to **@apps.gmail.com but not **@gmail.com. However, when I send an email directly to **@gmail.com it goes through. Any ideas?
UPDATE: The emails do not show up at all in Gmail, including in the spam folder.
