1) Post the output of "postconf -n"

2) Read the documentation:

alias_database (default: see "postconf -d" output)
The alias databases for local(8) delivery that are updated with
"newaliases" or with "sendmail -bi". 

This is a separate configuration parameter because not all the tables
specified with $alias_maps have to be local files. 

Examples: 

alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/mail/aliases

3) You might be better served posting this on the Postfix forum.
