That's a non-default value. /etc/mail/aliases is the gentoo default. |

Changing the default is fine but you need to let postfix create the db |
| 8 |
file as well if you want to use /etc/postfix as your aliases location. |

yes postfix-install command places aliases file - along with a few |
| 16 |
others - into standart configuration directory. It is somewhat of an |
| 17 |
hassle to remove them as other commands expect at least some of them to |
| 18 |
be present. |

Two options: |
| 31 |
1/ use dafaults, i.e. /etc/mail/aliases |
| 32 |
2/ use a custom location but then change postfix.service to give r/w |
| 33 |
access to the new aliases.db location |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I'd go with option #1 if you do not have a strong preference either way. |
