I've edited the alias file in /etc but that does not seem to work as there is another file alias.db which needs to be edited aswell(Right???)

That's interesting, okay try "sendmail -bi".
On systems running sendmail, newaliases is typically either a symbolic link to the sendmail executable (which knows it's supposed to execute with the "-bi" args because it was invoked as "newaliases"), or in some cases a shell script that runs "sendmail -bi". What does "man newaliases" say that it operates on (it should tell you in the text or in the "FILES" section)?
