I should add that I think the actual postfix command is postalias and a
ls -l /usr/bin/newaliases points to /etc/alternatives/mta-newaliases

The newaliases command, as somone else commented, is the sendmail
command and depending upon the system, e.g., in FreeBSD it's done in
/etc/mail/mailer.conf, RH uses alternatives, and so on.
