that depends, there is more than one way to use SSL with smtp
starttls on port 25 or 587
smtps on port 465
if your server uses starttls on port 25 (which probably is) just run
        postconf -e "smtp_use_tls = yes"
        postconf -e "relayhost=[your.mail.server.address]"

>/var/log/mail/errors is an endless stream of:

you installed the mailman rpm which added this line to postfix.
i tought that problem with mailman package was fixed, but it looks like
it still does not create the alias file

please either remove the mailman rpm if you are not using mailman, or
create an empty file /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases amd run
        postalias /var/lib/mailman/data/aliases
