That will send a copy of all email to 'alwaysbcc'.

And why should Postfix look in /etc/alias?

As documented, you can't specify multiple addresses on the right-hand side.
recipient_bcc_maps (default: empty)
Optional BCC (blind carbon-copy) address lookup tables, indexed by
recipient address. The BCC address (multiple results are not sup-
ported) is added when mail enters from outside of Postfix.
These are not the only mistakes - but that should get you started.
