User "admin" gets all undeliverable email - unless there is a catch-all 
account for a site. Or a the account or alias for the recipients site doesn't 
exist.

For starters try to restart Sendmail (as root: "/etc/init.d/sendmail 
restart").

Next make sure you do NOT use any "C Name" records in the DNS for the 
recipients site, as that will also cause behaviour like this as emails to 
aliasses can then no longer be resolved.  

In fact make sure your DNS records and site setup runs along this guide:
