Check that the setgid_group parameter is non-empty in main.cf.

This normally could mean someone is trying to send an email to an account that does not exist your virtual_alias file.  If a spammer keep trying to hit you through a catchall account, this could be the case. Try seeting a catch all account up and see if it goes away.
