     This is an extremely bad idea.  If people are using sendmail from
pkgsrc, they will most likely be using /etc/mail.  Even if not,
deleting people's configs before they get a chance to migrate them
either to postfix or the pkgsrc version of sendmail would be very bad.

     See above.

} (I only had the compiled aliases.db left).  

     You can use praliases to dump it.  Of course, you won't get any
comments.
