This is bad.

So is this.

Here's your problem.
The aliases file is now located in /etc/mail. Did you not update your
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf to reflect new locations? Best thing to do is to
rebuild it from your m4 .mc file.
Also, you need to run newaliases to actually create the alias file:
aliases.db.
Cheers.
