I spoke too soon, sendmail 8.8 doesn't work.  Here's what's in the log
file when I send a message to my mailserver:

Feb 11 19:33:19 ftp sendmail[15260]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): Cannot open
hash da
abase /etc/aliases.db: Invalid argument
Feb 11 19:33:19 ftp sendmail[15261]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): queuename:
Cannot c
eate "qfTAA15261" in "/var/spool/mqueue" (euid=0): No such file or
directory

Any ideas?

I would guess that the user that sendmail runs as doesn't have permissions
to its own files.  Either the files got chown'd to someone else somehow,
or ... well, what probably happened, is that the UID/GID to Username/Groupname
mapping stored in the /etc/groups and /etc/passwd files got messed up.
So, what used to belong to MAIL.MAIL now belong to UUCP.FOO or something.

Check that.

Nope, it's owned by mail.mail.
