I cannot say if this is general sendmail related or FreeBSD specific, as I only have a
FreeBSD box to tamper with.

On a three week old -stable system I get the following behaviour from sendmail:
1) If I add aliases to /etc/aliases and call newaliases thereafter, everything works as
it should
2) If I make a new aliases file and wish sendmail to take both into account, by e.g.

O AliasFile=/etc/aliases,/usr/local/etc/aliases

or 

O AliasFile=/etc/aliases
O AliasFile=/usr/local/etc/aliases

then localy everything works again, but not for incoming mails from outside:
> Apr 22 22:12:03 rige sendmail[29993]: WAA29993: <testing@rige.physik.fu-berlin.de>... User unknown

where testing was defined as an alias in /usr/local/etc/aliases.
telnet localhost 25 and vrfy also don't work.

Have I done something wrong? Or is this a bug in sendmail.cf?

On a related note I also have problems installing the majordomo aliases (I get a
strange error from newaliases), which I posted on freebsd-ports.

Thanks, Axel.
