Considering that this is a list that has members from all over the world,
People are sometimes sleeping when you post an article. Most have full
time jobs as well as well as responsibilities to others which many times
take precedence to responding to the list.
As this is an ongoing problem that has been happening for weeks as you
indicate, an immediate response is most likely not required.
Give at least a 24 hour wait until posting for further info and normally
if nobody responded, chances are you didn't provide enough info or clarity
as to what it is you were looking for or the problem you are having.

If the file /etc/aliases is really missing like the error message says,
you have a problem which will greatly slow down your server.
The assumption is that you have checked to make sure that file is actually
there.
You have provided no other information from which to have a clue what your
problem might be other than that.
