Looks like this line is in error. Using a text editor copy this line
and remove the double quotes and comment out the original line. Like this:
#/usr/sbin/postalias "$alias_database" 2>/dev/null
/usr/sbin/postalias $alias_database 2>/dev/null
This should correct the error as I think the line should be looking for
your alias file, usually /etc/aliases, and is getting $alias_database
instead.
It should be noted that I am not using postfix here, this is just basic
scripting knowledge.
