IIRC sendmail 8.11.X shipped with FreeBSD does not support doing aliases
that way.  Your best bet is to use the virtusertable to map complete email
addresses to usernames.  I believe that recent FreeBSD releases ship with
virtusertable enabled.

Cd to /etc/mail/, put your "aliases" lines above into a file called
virtusertable and type make.

Good Luck
