Solaris doesn't do much, but sendmail comes standard, if you are using sendmail then:
/etc/mail/aliases (as you found)
$HOME/.forward
$HOME/.procmailrc
/etc/.procmailrc
find / -type f -name "*procmail*"
Sendmail is crazily configurable, so also grep root, your usename and the dba in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf to see if some weird rule is in place.
edit:
If that doesn't get you to the bottom of it, try posting the relevant lines from your sendmail log showing the various username forwardings it does.

local.users
local.users(4) Kernel Interfaces Manual local.users(4)
NAME
local.users - Specifies mail recipients on the local host.
DESCRIPTION
The local.users file contains a list of user names whose mail is to be delivered to the local host and whose return address is user-
name@hostname. Entries in the local.hosts file are in addition to other local users (such as root and postmaster). See sendmail.cf(4) for
a description of other local users.
You can add entries to this file if the host is configured as a simple client and either of the following is true: The user wants their
mail delivered on this machine rather than being forwarded to the mail server. You are adding aliases to the /var/adm/sendmail/aliases
file. When the host is configured as a simple client, the alias must be added to this file and the aliases file.
A simple client is defined as a host that had the mail system configured using the MailConfig application from the System Management utili-
ties or configured using the mailsetup utility's Quick Setup menu.
The format of the file is as follows: User names are separated by blanks or new lines. Multiple user name can be specified on a line.
Blank lines are ignored. A comment mark (#) ends the line.
After modifying the local.users file, you must restart the sendmail daemon to apply the changes. Use the following command: #
/sbin/init.d/sendmail restart
EXAMPLES
root postmaster rw # A comment followed by an ignored blank line.
# Another comment. mariah # Another comment.
carey # Leading blanks are acceptable.
FILES
Specifies the path name for the file.
