Depending on whether you rolled your own sendmail.cf file or not, you may 
need to re-do that.  The stock sendmail that came with 5.2 wanted aliases 
in /etc/aliases, after I made my own sendmail.cf file they were moved to 
/etc/mail/aliases.  After upgrading from 5.2 -> 6.2 I discovered my 
sendmail.cf file had become sendmail.cf.rpmsave.  Most of the other files 
(access, domaintable, virtusertable, etc.) were still in /etc/mail, 
although many had the suffix '.rpmsave' as well.  RPM frequently does this 
when a package gets updated.  Have a look at the upgrade log - 
/tmp/upgrade.log for additional clues.

Finally, I hesitate to bring it up - but what about restoring files from 
your pre-upgrade full backup or a regular full backup tape?  You do have 
regular backups and you did a full backup before the upgrade, right?  If 
not, you really should.  Enough said.
