Sendmail on 14-RELEASE

I have installed 14.0-RELEASE and for the life of me (even following
the hand book and examples from several 13.X machines around here) can
not get the following issues resolved:

1. Sendmail does not start when enabled (it dies instantly)
2. When running in interactive mode the following alias is not found
despite the path existing with mailnull/mail ownership and newaliases
being run

root@sarek2048:/etc/mail # grep a: /etc/aliases
a: /var/mail/test/a
root@sarek2048:/etc/mail # newaliases
root@sarek2048:/etc/mail # !sen
-su: !sen: not found
root@sarek2048:/etc/mail # sendmail -bi a
sendmail: invalid recipient `a'

On 13 I have no issue with the above:

root@sarek1024:/etc/mail # grep 'a:' aliases
a: /var/mail/test/a
root@sarek1024:/etc/mail # newaliases
/etc/mail/aliases: 55 aliases, longest 16 bytes, 739 bytes total

Note I copied the aliases from 13 to 14 with scp
