Even if you replaced the sendmail binary with exim, there might still
be lying a copy of sendmail somewhere -- i.e. "newaliases" is
sometimes a hard link to sendmail, and thus isn't affected by
replacing the sendmail binary.
Is this the problem here? What does
$ ls -li `type -path sendmail` `type -path newaliases`
say? If one of sendmail or newaliases is a symlink, also try with "ls
-liL".
