Hi,
I don't know if I got something wrong here. I never restart sendmail after
running newaliases, because newaliases is a "shortcut" of "sendmail -bi"
which initializes the aliases database and "signals" the change to all
running childs. At least I read the man-pages this way (although they don't
say something about signals) and it worked so for years.
