postalias hash:/etc/mail/aliases

Depending on your system, hash may or may not be supported. See
``postconf -m'' for the list of supported types.

newaliases may also work, however make sure that this is the postfix
newaliases command and not the sendmail one.

Also, this is a postfix question, and as such should really be
directed to the postfix users mailing list @

	postfix-users@postfix.org

see www.postfix.org for more information.
