alias_maps is the list of lookup tables the Postfix actually uses to
perform local alias rewriting. alias_database is the list of indexed
database files that Postfix rebuilds when you run newaliases(1).

If you only use indexed database files, the values of alias_maps and
alias_database should typically be identical.
