Since you don't give any details on how you did the mapping, or what config files are involved, I can only give the most general advice.

Use find piped through grep to find where root@pete is defined. It's probably a config file somewhere in /etc. Assign the name localhost to pete: pete=localhost. You may have to do some reading in re the config file to learn how to do it properly.

I ran into something similar to this with Spamassassin (or maybe it was Postfix). Anyhow, it's worth a try.
