I see now, since the last postfix restart the log is filling up with these:

Well, see if you have an /etc/aliases, which you should, even if it's a defaut. Then just run newaliases which will create an /etc/aliases.db
The issues may be elsewhere, but get rid of that one.
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.
