You were looking for the wrong error in the Postfix logs. What you posted
earlier was generated by logwatch. In Postfix:
/*
* Warn if the source file is newer than the indexed file, except when
* the source file changed only seconds ago.
*/
if ((dict_flags & DICT_FLAG_LOCK) != 0
&& stat(path, &st) == 0
&& st.st_mtime > dict_db->dict.mtime
&& st.st_mtime < time((time_t *) 0) - 100)
msg_warn("database %s is older than source file %s", db_path, path);
Try searching your Postfix logs for 'older than source file'.
