The big clue is that it works for outgoing and local mail, but not incoming.
Your mailer spawns a new copy of sendmail for each delivery, and those
will read the alias database(s) as they start.  But incoming mail (TCP
to port 25) connects to the daemon sendmail, which loaded it's idea of
aliases at boot time.

Stop and start the daemon version, and you should be fine.
