The "include:" directive in your sendmail aliases file.  This is documented
in the sendmail documentation: included files are not incorporated into the
master aliases database, they are searched as the flat files they are.

Better still to set them in your sendmail.mc file and let the m4 processor
build your .cf file.

I had forgotten about the OA directive, probably because older versions of
sendmail do not support it.
