I've seen that exact behavior, when we migrated from more than
10 Bluequartz servers to three Blueonyx servers.
<br>
<br>
After using cmuImport to get all the sites on the new box - I
made it a habit to use these commands as root from the command
line:
<br>
service sendmail stop
<br>
newaliases
<br>
service sendmail start
<br>
<br>
Sometimes the CMU utility does not correctly rerun the alias
build program (newaliases) - and they are not applied. Remaking
the alias tables with the "newaliases" command and restarting
sendmail to fixed the problem every time for me.

I was so hoping your solution would work, but it did not.<br>
The /etc/mail/aliases file seems to only contain system aliases
(such as root, nobody, sshd, postmaster), but not any of the aliases
pertaining to Blue Onyx, even after running newaliases.<br>
<br>
I've brought up the old system that we migrated from (Blue Quartz)
on a different IP to compare files, and it looks like that
/etc/mail/aliases file is the same way, but somehow the aliases work
fine on that system.<br>
<br>
When I add an alias in the old system, the only files I see that
unique alias get added to are /etc/mail/virtusertable.db and
/etc/mail/virtusertable, just like on the new system.<br>
Except on the new system, it doesn't work. Argh.<br>
