...erm... it shouldnt' be behaving like that. What do you mean by 'included'?
The proper way to deal with multiple alias files is to specify multiple
OA lines in sendmail.cf. If you have dome this, You need to upgrade your sendmail
and/or make sure newaliases is properly symlinked to sendmail. Sendmail
has rebuilt all alias files specified in OA lines in sendmail.cf for quite
some time now.
You could invoke the alias rebuilding explicitly as sendmail -bi just to be
sure what's going on.
