Thanks for replying. You were right: I did need to rebuild the database. I used 'newaliases', however and this did the trick. diff -c had told me that /etc/aliases had not changed, so it didn't occur to me that I had to update it (silly me). I managed to solve the second problem with a simple touch /var/run/sendmail.pid (could it really be that simple?) Everything seems to be running fine, but I'm still not confident that I updated /etc properly.
