This sounds like there is an error on one (or more) or these three files 
on your server:

/etc/mail/access
/etc/mail/aliases
/etc/mail/virtusertable

Run "newaliases" as root. That will parse /etc/mail/aliases to create an 
updated /etc/mail/aliases.db and will report any errors that this file 
might have.

For the other two run this:

makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable.db < /etc/mail/virtusertable

makemap hash /etc/mail/access.db < /etc/mail/access

Likewise they will report errors if the input file (the one w/o *.db) 
has errors in it.

See what errors it reports and fix or remove the affected lines.

If that doesn't help, then please file a "Support Request" via the GUI 
and I'll take a look.
