I just used postmap to rebuild my alias file, and it worked, does
postmap and postalias do the same thing?

Yes, sort of. They both generate database files in multiple formats.

The difference is that postmap uses the "PATTERN RESULT" line format
whereas postalias uses the "PATTERN: RESULT" format.

The latter is used by, among other things, sendmail for the system mail aliases file.

aliases(5) maps MUST be built with postalias(1) and all other tables
must be built with postmap(1).
