  "The input and output file formats are expected to be compatible with
  Sendmail version 8, and are expected to be suitable for the use as NIS
  maps."

... and later ...

  · An alias definition has the form

        name: value1, value2, ...
                          

So you don't need to remove the colons at all. Indeed, the format is not
different at all. Unless, of course, Postfix has changed file format in
the last few months (Ralf, you still reading Postfix-Users? Has the
alias format changed?).
