@Sudhakar, since this report has a long time without activity, is this issue still affecting you? Maybe this issue is related to postfix (is not a dependency of backuppc) but post installation script has this new lines (that older versions doesn't have):

# add backuppc to /etc/aliases
        if [ -f /etc/aliases ] || [ -L /etc/aliases ]; then
            if ! grep -qi "^backuppc[[:space:]]*:" /etc/aliases; then
                echo "backuppc: root" >> /etc/aliases
                test -x "$(command -v newaliases)" && newaliases || :
            fi
        fi
