aliases in both those versions are in the file domuser.dat in the
surgemail home folder, check that file matches and contains the missing
aliases on both systems ?
Also check /etc/aliases and for alias settings in surgemail.ini pointing
at other files. Maybe you had some other type of alias setup....

I copied everything to the new server by running couple of rsyncs of /usr/local/surgemail, /var/surgemail and /etc/surgemail.ini while the old server was running. Then I stopped the old server (with surgemail_stop.sh) and ran a final rsync (with --delete) on all three sources to grab the final state. All files are owned by mail:mail on the new server. I also copied the legal archive local directory.
