actually if he where's a uniform that may be it.any dogs for some reason don't like people in uniforms. police, mailman,etc I have seen this time and again even from very nice dogs. here is some info I copied for you good luck
Eighty percent of all dogs that engage in biting are also un-neutered males. Attacks usually occur in close proximity to the animal’s home, like in their yard, on the street in front of it, or in the alley next to their property. Also, many dogs are on leashes, chained up, fenced or indoors when the incidents occur!
What factors influence dog dog biting? Irresponsible pet ownership and lack of information on how to avoid incidents are the biggest contributors. What contributes to dog bites? And why should you care to control and take responsibility of your animal?
Preventing dog bites means that you should know that anything that has teeth can, and probably will bite. People are pretty careless around animals; many take liberties that they shouldn’t and as a result, they get bit. Many animals, especially un-neutered males, will be territorial and aggressive. What happens on their turf is very serious.
Animals will connect a person in a uniform to the experiences they have had with it. In many cases, the postal carrier arrives to deliver the mail and the dog will begin to bark. This territorial behavior is reinforced because the postal carrier then leaves. The dog gets rewarded by successfully driving away the intruder! Many times an animal will also react protectively at the movement toward the owner or approach. So, handing a package to the owner of an animal could be perceived as a threat.
When a dog is in a yard and restrained on a chain or by fencing, they can see and react to objects in view, but out of reach. This "barrier frustration" can contribute to escalated aggression because it triggers some territoriality, and sometimes predatory behavior. Animals chained up can also feel vulnerable and can become more protective of themselves and defensive because of it.

Dogs don't usually "hate" the postman, but think about it from the dog's point of view. You have a "stranger" who comes up to the front door of his house, invades his "territory" without an invitation, makes a noize at the door, then sneaks away without a by-your-leave. Of course the dog sees this person as an intruder! If your postman/woman is willing, why not try introducing your post-person to the dog so that the dog knows that this person has been "invited" and is a friend.

Imagine someone intruding your privacy every day in the wee hours, and he keeps coming back. And he smells of something unpleasant which you hate. Your dogs probably feel frustrated by the postman and wants to get back at him, but to us the postman is just a normal guy delivering the mail.

Mine loves everyone. Funny story. I just got a new neighbor on our first meeting the dog was out on her potty break. I don't think the neighbor really likes dogs jsut by the way she acted when mine went up to say hi. So the lady goes to get in her car. My dog is running behind her and hops in her car and is waiting to go bye bye. I was kind of embarrassed. I didn't want to freak out the new neighbor.

watch out . . . your dogs could end up euthanized if they are termed as dangerous animals
it could be a scent that he carries . . . or if you dislike your postman the dogs could be picking up on that . . . anything is possible . . .
