 aliases are only relevant for local *delivery*. To rewrite outgoing
 sender addresses username@domain.com -> firstname.lastname@domain.com
 you'll have to do some sort of canonical address rewriting. I believe
 this feature is called genericstable in sendmail.


Guess, you're right. Since i haven't done the administration of the mail
accounts recently, i probably put the wrong word in the wrong place. Sure I
was thinking about the genericstable, because if i have aliases for incoming
mail i must have genericstable for outgoing as well.
I have it all set up, but still it doesn't work....
