Yes I checked the sendmail.cf entry for where the aliases file is located. I even tried changing the entry to a new location and creating an aliases file there. 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.
