Carl, Aha, that may be it! I simply migrated the aliases directory and files up to the upgraded environment without worrying about their ownership and permissions.

In the sendmail document on permissions, it says this is too liberal, but the ownership of the directory and file might make a difference. I'll make the change and test the result. Thanks.
