Postfix alias_maps is used only when mail is delivered, by the
local(8) delivery agent, which searches with the address local-part.
virtual_alias_maps is used while mail is received, by the cleanup
daemon, which searches primarily with the whole email address.
Note that alias_maps are recursive only if the result of alias
expansion matches mydestination.
I speculate that you changed myorigin or mydestination, so that
mailer-daemon: postmaster
expanded to postmaster@$myorigin, and that $myorigin no longer
matched $mydestination, i.e. the lookup was no longer recursive.
I suggest that you make backups, or better, use a version control system.
