I don't think it creates those files anymore.  The section above tells
you exactly what to do.  You need to edit the postfix aliases file.  It
is sometimes under /etc/aliases and other times it is under
/etc/postfix/aliases.  Copy the output of the script (below) to that
file and then run the newaliases program to update the aliases DB.

It works for me at least.
