AFAIR, the problem was with the aliases file. /etc/aliases should be
linked to /etc/postfix/aliases or vice-versa. I'm quite sure I mailed
the list with this but a search of the archives for Mandrake and
Postfix doesn't show it. Not sure why.
btw, I've a feeling that this fix may not work fully, as in that it
may work for local mail but not outgoing/incoming. Check it yourself
to be sure it works (and maybe mail the list with definitive results).
What's curious is that there seems to be no mention on the updates
page on www.mandrake.org
Finally, fwiw, mandrake 7.1 seems to have been released today.
