The best answer (which I had known but forgotten :-( ) and thanks to:
kmah@DCS-Systems.COM (Kevin Mah)
aliases are "added" with NIS not "replaced". Every systems
/etc/aliases file will already have a "Postmaster" entry which
will win in the sort order over the NIS aliases.
so you will need to remove the local instances of Postmaster.
