I too noticed this problem. I wrote the following function which
helps. I included it in my copy of mailalias.el but you may not want to put
it there.
;; Force a rebuild of the aliases list
;; Created fpb@ittc.uu.net - Jun 20, 1989
(defun rebuild-mail-aliases (&optional file)
"Rebuild the aliases from ~/.mailrc file.
Forces emacs-mailer to re-read the ~/.mailrc file.
Useful when new aliases are added."
(interactive)
(setq mail-aliases t)
(message "Rebuilding mail aliases...")
(build-mail-aliases file)
(message "Rebuilding mail aliases... done."))
