RE: Sendmail aliases error
I'm using stable.
I've tried re-installing.
I install exim and exim works fine(which is what I'm running now), but when
I try to install sendmail, I get the same problem.

Are you using unstable?
Try apt-get update, and reinstall sendmail (remove
/var/cache/apt/archives/sendmail*, to make sure). I have my system all
right after installing sendmail8.11+8.12 and libdb3 3.20-5.
BTW, the new Sendmail can multi-thread; try to send email using "mail",
and repeat it in a tight loop (eg: using Perl), say, for 250 times. Then
netstat; you'd see that the mail server would open 250 smtp ports on the
destination servers. Interesting... (espescially when your system grinds
to a halt due to out of swapspace :-)
There must be some (free) process accounting software out there...
