Look at your sendmail configuration - if that "server" is running a default
redhat 6.2, you will have a setting in there to automatically rebuild
aliases when the sendmail daemon starts up.  confAUTO_REBUILD_ALIASES I
think.

If you want to use such an ancient distro, at least upgrade whatever daemons
are facing the 'net, and configure them securely.
