Unless you have some other alias_maps line in main.cf, Postfix uses the
default value (which is OS dependent). Use "postconf alias_maps" to find
out what value Postfix is actually using. You'll probably see something
like "nis:mail.aliases" in that string. Remove that part unless you
really want to use NIS for alias lookups.
