Instead, copy an existing /etc/aliases file over from sendmail (that should not
have got deleted ...) and run newaliases.
Did you use postfix start (similar to /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q15m) or did you
go via the /etc/rc.d/init.d route (if a postfix rpm)? Option #2 rebuilds
aliases on startup (which has DoS potential from what I hear - at least on
sendmail)
