Just tried it here successfully, although I'd usually do newaliases.

[r...@mail-jail /etc/mail]# /usr/sbin/sendmail -v -bi
-OAliasFile=/etc/mail/aliases
sendmail: -O option ignored

postalias: dict_eval: const  Postfix

postalias: open hash /etc/aliases

Looks like you're using postfix pretending to be sendmail. Evidently postfix doesn't build aliases.db the same way. You might try newaliases.
