That was exactly the problem; it works now.
Since I use -release I only looked at those man pages and there this is
not mentioned.

Thanks again for the quick help!
regards,

It's the unmodified -release one:

I wasn't aware that any changes were needed for smtpd (there is nothing
about this in the documentation).
From http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=smtpd
smtpd is not enabled by default. In order to use it as the system mail-
er, ensure the mail queue is empty, then stop sendmail(8):
# pkill sendmail
Modify the current mailwrapper(8) settings by editing /etc/mailer.conf:
sendmail /usr/sbin/smtpctl
send-mail /usr/sbin/smtpctl
mailq /usr/sbin/smtpctl
makemap /usr/libexec/smtpd/makemap
newaliases /usr/libexec/smtpd/makemap
Rebuild the aliases database, and enable the daemon:
# newaliases
# echo "sendmail_flags=NO" >> /etc/rc.conf.local
# echo "smtpd_flags=" >> /etc/rc.conf.local
# smtpd
Now I rebuild the /etc/mail/aliases.db by executing /usr/bin/newaliases,
but this leads to the same result (/var/spool/clientmqueue/...):
(this seems to be the only "newaliases" on the system...)
yes, but if you look at it more carefully you'll notice that the newaliases
command is actually a link to the mailwrapper command which uses the settings
in /etc/mailer.conf to determine which command to execute for real. As long
as you don't fix your mailer.conf, all commands such as makemap and newaliases
will use sendmail's executables instead of smtpd's and thus aliases and
virtual domains will not work
