This was introduced with ports/134728, in which ALIAS_DB_MAP is compiled
in as hash:/etc/mail/aliases.  I've rolled this back to the default value,
which is system-dependent and chosen by ${WRKSRC}/src/util/sys_defs.h, which
in turn relies on the ${WRKSRC}/makedefs script.

This is intentional and a good thing.  In mail/postfix prior to 2.6.x, the
change was made in main.cf instead of being compiled in as a default; this
is why you do not see it when viewing the *default* postconf output in 2.5.x;
try postconf newaliases_path (i.e. without the -d flag).

Indeed.  The attached patch (also filed as ports/135273) updates Postfix to
2.6.2 and makes the aforementioned changes.  As a result, I don't think we
need to touch ports/UPDATING.
