Did you run newaliases after adding the root to anne alias?
Duh! Fancy forgetting to do that! Done now, though.
Or restart
sendmail.
This laptop shuts down at night, so anacron should have found a re-started
sendmail.
Does /var/log/maillog indicate any oddness?
I'm not sure what's happening. Before I ran newaliases the log shows

and now, after sending a test message to root mylan net, it shows
Jul 18 12:21:53 packbell sendmail[25317]: k6F6u653002935: to=anne mylan net,
ctladdr=<root packbell mylan net> (0/0), delay=3+04:25:46, xdelay=00:00:00,
mailer=esmtp, pri=3902932, relay=smtp.mylan.net., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred
yet the message has been delivered correctly this time.
Hopefully that means that the problem is fixed, thanks, but I do wonder why
the log refers to it as Deferred.
