Have you ever before come across my suggestion to create a new file
called something like /etc/aliases.local and use it, so as to keep your
own changes separate from Cobalt's?

It does require a one-time/one-line change to sendmail.cf.  I added the
line:

O AliasFile=/etc/aliases.local

Right after the line: 

O AliasFile=/etc/aliases

And then you need to restart sendmail.  After that one time, though, you
make all your own additions/changes to /etc/aliases.local, and can
always see just what you've added (vs what the Cobalt gui has added) at
a glance.

Probably a good idea to, after this, point out that the person then must
run:

# newaliases
