Use a mailling list for that, or manually add the additions to /etc/aliases

Instead of modifying /etc/aliases, which is maintained by the Cobalt web-based gui interface, I'd create a new file: /etc/aliases/local, for all hand-added aliases.

That requires a one-time change to /etc/sendmail.cf, which I've previously documented on this list:

As root, modify /etc/sendmail.cf as follows:  Find the line:

O AliasFile=/etc/aliases.majordomo

and directly under it add the line:

O AliasFile=/etc/aliases.local

Then save the file, and restart sendmail.  To restart sendmail, try (as root):

# kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sendmail.pid`

(Note that those ` marks are the "backquote" to the left of the number-one (1) key on your keyboard, NOT the regular single-quote next to the semicolon key.)
