The date is only good if it is more recent that /etc/aliases.

What is the last-modified date of /etc/aliases?
How about /etc/mail/aliases?

Where is this file located (what directory)?


My first guess is that your MTA is using a different aliases file than
the one(s) you are looking at.  That would be caused by a
configuration error.  I've never heard of sm-mta before, so I can't
help you with the actual configuration.  Hopefully the above will be
enough of a pointer in the right direction for you to solve this
issue.
