That is fine. We only need /etc/mail/aliases and /etc/aliases should be 
gone.

No symlink. /etc/aliases should be gone and "newaliases" should not 
report any errors.

Please check what your sendmail.mc has set for ALIAS_FILE. It should be 
like this:

#> cat /etc/mail/sendmail.mc|grep ALIAS_FILE
define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/mail/aliases')dnl

If that is the case, then "newaliases" should not throw any error. If 
your sendmail.mc still has /etc/aliases in it, then that's the cause of 
the problem.

To be really sure do this:

cp /usr/sausalito/configs/sendmail/sendmail.mc /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
cd /etc/mail
make all
newaliases

That should fix it.
