RE: sendmail not using /etc/aliases file

Deleted aliases.db and checked the syntax in aliases.  Restarted sendmail and the aliases.db file was rebuilt.  Same problem persists.

Again it didn't help.  Yes, I have checked to make sure the system is running sendmail.  I have other boxes running sendmail and they don't have this problem, which is why it is so puzzling to me.

I would remove the aliases database and force newaliases to create the
databas from scratch. Another thing to look for is any syntax error
that might not be caught by the newaliases processing but would cause
a particular alias to be ignored.
