For the purpose of this instruction, I presume you're already at least a 
semi-experienced linux administrator.  Teaching linux administration is 
beyond the scope of this post <smile>.

Create an /etc/aliases.local file, and put the required aliases into it.

Then, as root, edit sendmail.cf.  Find the lines:

  # location of alias file
  O AliasFile=/etc/aliases
  O AliasFile=/etc/aliases.majordomo

and add a new line below...

  O AliasFile=/etc/aliases.local

Save sendmail.cf, and restart sendmail.

That's it.

Jeff
