I would start by examining your current /etc/mail/aliases file. What is it's last modification date? Does it have your local modifications?

Sysmerge keeps backups of your local merged files. You can find backups of aliases, if any, with # find /var/sysmerge/backups -name aliases -ls.

Sysmerge also keeps a copy of the the most recent Project files to compare with your local files, should you need to do so manually. You can extract a copy of the reference aliases file from the tarball /var/sysmerge/etc.tgz with something like # tar -C /tmp -xzf /var/sysmerge/etc.tgz ./etc/mail/aliases. That command will extract the reference file into /tmp/etc/mail/aliases for examination.


At the end of this, if you have to correct the aliases file, don't forget to run newaliases(8).
