Hmm, that might be a clue for me.  When I put in a new alias, I
manually "makemap hash virtusertable < virtusertable.txt".  If the
sendmail upgrade runs a Makefile to do its own virtusertable.db
rebuild then it's possible it uses other sources, or "makemap dbm"
instead of "makemap hash".  That could explain the screw-up.

I'll check this later.
