There are a few differences (perhaps other people can help me on this
list):

- aliases are in /etc/mail/aliases
- virtmaps are now virtusertable and located in
   /usr/mail/virtusertable; "catchall" entries must begin with an '@'
   symbol, e.g., "@perlcode.org" instead of just "perlcode.org"
- to rebuild aliases, type 'newaliases' or 'make' inside /etc/mail;
  if you configure multiple aliases files, you'll always have to use
  'newaliases'.
- sendmail must be restarted after sendmail.mc/cf changes and changes
  to /etc/mail/local-host-names before the changes will take effect.
  Restarts are done by cd'ing into /etc/mail and typing 'make
  restart'.

Again, there may be other differences that others have noticed; these
were the big changes for me.
