John--

For something that handles exim's aliases format and converts it
properly through cdbmake, look at `aliases2cdbm' at:

http://www.pobox.com/~jmknoble/software/index.html

(Note that it's been a while since i updated the RPMs, so they're
likely to be built for Red Hat 4.x).

I'm not aware of general problems with aliases being omitted; my first
choice to blame for any such problems would be the agent that generates
the CDB files, or that provides input for cdbmake.

Aliases2cdbm in particular does a good job of emitting warnings for
ill-formatted alias lines that cdbmake by itself won't catch.
