My guess is you do not have an /etc/mail/aliases file.  Red Hat has
an /etc/aliases, but Sendmail 8.12 looks in /etc/mail.

You should have an /etc/mail/aliases file which minimally looks like this:

	# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.
	mailer-daemon:	postmaster
	postmaster:	root

and then run "newaliases" to rebuild the alias database.
