sendmail team enforced their checks for correct permittions for
files/aliases and other stuff due to many accuses towards sendmail in
several security breaches, which in fact, were due to lame/bad system
configuration.
So here you will have to make sure your alias files/include files have
all correct owner/group and permittions for them, and directories where
they reside. However if you do not want to change permittions (i.g. you
find them pretty safe etc). use
use DontBlameSendmail option (or
define(`confDontBlameSendmail',DontBlameSenmail)dnl in mc file, I guess)

whoh..:) here's another story.. but also with permittions. Now this file
is not readable by UID/GID under which sendmail is running. it either
could be a problem of filepermittions itself, or any of directories, which
lead to this file.
