  newaliases is identical to "sendmail -bi"

This works on my machine, with mailing list software and procmail and
others. Have you checked the mail log? Are you sure that it's a problem
with sendmail's aliases and not with the actual perl script? It could for
instance be a permissions thing. /var/log/mail should tell you what
sendmail tries to do with the mail.

Anders
