Hi Jeff,

I have a standard install of FC2.  I'm not sure if
/etc/init.d/sendmail is the same in FC1.  When I look at
/etc/init.d/sendmail I see the following bit of code in the reload()
subroutine:

        if [ -x /usr/bin/make -a -f /etc/mail/Makefile ]; then
          make all -C /etc/mail -s
        else
          for i in virtusertable access domaintable mailertable ; do
            if [ -f /etc/mail/$i ] ; then
                makemap hash /etc/mail/$i < /etc/mail/$i
            fi
          done
        fi

As far as I understand it, that ought to do exactly what Mike claimed,
and run 'make all -C /etc/mail -s' everytime you start or restart the
service via the init script.
