asterisk users - Jun 2003 - email notification not working anymore

I used to have email notification working with my voicemail services but
it stopped working when I installed the new version of asterisk.

I have not changed my voicemail.conf file, so I'm out of ideas.

Does asterisk use Sendmail to send messages, or does it have its own
method for sending email?

It does use sendmail. Which app are you using ?

voicemail or voicemail2 ?

It uses sendmail.  Try sending a test message from the computer first, 
to rule out asterisk as a problem.

Ok.  It's definately not asterisk's problem.
The problem is with the aliases used with sendmail.
 
The error I see is:
Cannot rebuild aliases: no database format defined
Cannot create database for alias file /etc/mail/aliases

I guess it's off to the sendmail forums
 
Thanks for the help
