Wher
e did that come from? (It doesn't exist on my system).

I don't know about you, but new aliases and postalias and postmap are tools 
that I run extremely rarely. I think the last made I made to aliases might have 
been as much as 10 years ago. I've changed virtual more frequently, but still 
rarely.

postfix flush is nearly always a bad idea, and I can't imagine it's useful 
after a reload, or at least I can't think of a reason you'd want to do that; if 
you've reloaded, postfix will requeue the mail on its own.
