The problem has nothing to do with the version of sendmail you are running.
However, you should upgrade for security reasons anything 8.8.x. 8.9.x has
great anti-spam configuration control too.
Anytime you edit/add to /etc/alliases you have to run newaliases. The
/etc/aliases file is just raw information input by you. The actual aliasing
information the system uses is in binary format in a file called
/etc/aliases.db. Newaliases is what does this.
This is what it looks like to me, but I could be wrong.
On another note. I put my resume on monster.com by whoever suggested it to
Jame Baldwin. And I'm getting quite a few calls a day now too. But so far
all the calls are just from head hunters rather than the actual companies.
