Description alex 2007-07-17 03:18:33 UTC 
On a clean install of sendmail 8.14.0, the installer does not create a symlink of newaliases to sendmail.  I had to create it manually:
ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/bin/newaliases

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
emerge -C sendmail
emerge sendmail
Actual Results:  
[root@fw]$ newaliases
-bash: newaliases: command not found


Expected Results:  
Install script is missing something like:
ln -s /usr/sbin/sendmail /usr/bin/newaliases

[root@fw]$ newaliases
/etc/mail/aliases: 89 aliases, longest 27 bytes, 927 bytes total


make.conf:
CFLAGS="-Os -march=i586 -pipe -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
USE="-apm -gif -X -gnome -gtk -kde -opengl -qt -truetype -cups samba mssql gd us

It works fine here with 8.14.1. Re-open if necessary.
