A couple of issues:
1. remove the trailing commas in the alias file.
2. (minor) you have  alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases and alias_database =
hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/opt/majordomo/aliases. 
3. Unterminated quotes. This mught just be a cut/paste issue.

The newalias or postalias /etc/aliases will rebuild aliases.db.
The postfix reload command should be run to tell postfix that a change
was made.  

Also note that on my server, I have about 6 different alias files. The
main alias file has colons, but the secondary ones do not.
