What Valdis said, and also:

If you are having problems with a given alias it might be educating to
check what sendmail thinks it should do with a given name/domain pair, ie
deliver it to a program, over the net using UUCP or SMTP, or simply to a
mailbox with mail.local. This is done with the command 

/usr/lib/sendmail -bv [log in to unmask]

(path to sendmail binary will vary by OS, this is for Solaris et al)

which will print things like:

$ /usr/lib/sendmail -bv [log in to unmask]
mansaxel@skybar.pilsnet.sunet.se... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host
skybar.pilsnet.sunet.se., user [log in to unmask]

or:

$ sendmail -bv dbd
"|/home/blargh/dbd.sh"... deliverable: mailer prog, user
|/home/blargh/dbd.sh

Might enlighten.
