Strangely it seems, some time ago, my /etc/aliases file (which
/usr/local/etc/postfix/aliases symbolically links to) stopped working.

Once I discovered this, and tried running newaliases, and got a bunch of
these errors:

'warning: /etc/aliases, line 18: need name:value pair'

Up till now, I had entries in the aliases file in the form of:

<alias> <recipients>

...but gathered that it now wanted it in the form of:

<alias>: <recipients>

I gather that everything stopped working around August sometime. I added
colons to the lines and its all happy now. But any idea why it would have
worked before and then suddenly not?
