When you use the 'newlist' command to create the list, it prints a set of
aliases whihc must be manually added to /etc/aliases. You then need to
reload the alias db, either by running 'newaliases' or by restarting
sendmail. (Or if you use another MTA, you need to add the aliases however
they need to be done for that program. That's probably why 'newlist'
doesn't handle it automatically.)
