Coonfigure the location of your aliases database in the sendmail.mc (or the sendmail.cf if you're feeling brave. Here's an example of what it looks like in the mc file
define(`ALIAS_FILE', `/etc/mail/aliases')dnl
Run the m4 preprocessor to build a new sendmail.cf
m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

After you have added your mail aliases to the aliases file you need to hash it out. Use sendmail -bi to do this.

Thanks by the answer but I'm in the same situation, not suppose if I can debug an alias convertion right, the configuration is using the aliases db?

Did you check your permissions on the aliases db ?
