Subject: aliases file not being read

I have a strange problem.  When I run newaliases, it reports that
aliases are built from both of my alias files.  And, when I test the
alias, it seems to work.  However, when I send mail to the majordomo
alias, it bounces back to me.  Any clues where to look? 
/var/log/messages looks fine, and in /var/log/maillog it looks like a
normal message being bounced.

root@glass:/etc/mail/$ newaliases
/etc/mail/aliases: 25 aliases, longest 15 bytes, 265 bytes total
/etc/mail/aliases.majordomo: 17 aliases, longest 235 bytes, 914 bytes
total

root@glass:/etc/mail/$ sendmail -bv majordomo
"|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"... deliverable: mailer prog,
user "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper majordomo"
