No, that won't fix the problem. I think the script was executed, 
/etc/mail/aliases was a symlink until initServices.sh. Then 
/etc/mail/aliases exists and /etc/aliases is deleted. But there's no 
aliases.db. Manual execute the scripts show this error:
newaliases: cannot open /etc/aliases: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/newaliases would use the /etc/aliases. Should this use 
/etc/mail/aliases or should there be a symlink?
postalias /etc/mail/aliases
fixes the problem and will create the aliases.db file on correct 
position. I have to execute postalias for all three files (and create 
the two files in /etc/mailman), then postfix works without errors.
