What else other than using `newaliases' should I have done (and I tried it a lot of
times before posting)? A secondary aliases.db was created and was only taken into
account for local mail delivery. The HUP activated also the alias expansion for incoming
mails send from other hosts.

This is repeatable with -stable sources from 3-Apr 98 (/etc properly updated, also).
