Why not use LDAP for all the DBs and aliases? It is easy to set up and
avoids having to run makemap and praliases. File sendmail.schema just
has to be included in OpenLDAP. Probably works fine 389ds too.

Here is the LDAP related stuff in my sendmail configuration:

fbsd15:~ $ grep -i ldap /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
define(`confLDAP_DEFAULT_SPEC',`-x -H ldap://fbsd15.local -w3 -b dc=fbsd15,dc=local -d cn=sendmail,dc=fbsd15,dc=local -M simple -P /etc/mail/ldap-secret -s sub')dnl
define(`confLDAP_CLUSTER', `mtacluster')dnl
define(`ALIAS_FILE', `ldap:')dnl
FEATURE(mailertable, `LDAP')dnl
FEATURE(`virtusertable', `LDAP')dnl
FEATURE(authinfo, `LDAP')dnl
FEATURE(genericstable, `LDAP')dnl

Instead of praliases, we can use a simple shell script like this:

fbsd15:~ $ cat /root/bin/sm_list_aliases 
#!/usr/local/bin/bash

PROG=$(basename $0)

[ $# -eq 0 ] || { echo $PROG usage: $PROG; exit 1; }

ldapsearch -o ldif-wrap=no -LLL -x -D cn=root,dc=fbsd15,dc=local -w passwordhere -H ldap://fbsd15.local -b dc=fbsd15,dc=local -S sendmailMTAKey "(objectClass=sendmailMTAAliasObject)" sendmailMTAKey sendmailMTAAliasValue Description | egrep -v '^(dn:|#)' | sed '$d'
