	Hi,

	First you need to rebuild your new aliases by using command
"newaliases" (man newaliases for more info).
	I don't think you need to restart sendmail if you only edited
/etc/aliases -- but if you want to restart sendmail anyway:
ps -aux | grep sendmail
kill -HUP sendmail_PID
or
kill -9 sendmail_PID ; /usr/sbin/sendmail -bd -q30m
	Hope this helps,
