The most likely reason we've found for this so far is that someone may have updated /etc/aliases without following up with 'newaliases'. If you check the syslog you will probably come up with something like this:
Sep 17 03:13:03 listserv sendmail[1434]: alias database /etc/aliases.db out of date
If you run 'newaliases' it is probable that the error will disappear. Otherwise a reboot of the machine may be required.
