How did you install?  I see

kkenn@enigma:~ ls -l /etc/mail/aliases
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1578 May 16  2003 /etc/mail/aliases

Also, in the i386 installation distribution set I see

-rw-r--r-- root/wheel     1578 Feb 23 11:42 2004 ./etc/mail/aliases

I did normal clean install with 5.2.1-RELEASE-i386-miniinst.iso, cvsup
to latest RELEASE_5_2, make buildworld; make buildkernel; make
installkernel; make installworld and mergemaster. Mergemaster only wanted
to update /etc/motd.
My src tree doesn't have executable bit set for aliases, so perhaps I
accidentally have chmod'd the file or some script messed up.

Comment 5 Matteo Riondato 2005-03-30 17:47:48 UTC

I didnt' manage to reproduce this bug:
#ls -l /etc/mail/aliases
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  1631 Mar 25 21:26 /etc/mail/aliases
#/usr/bin/newaliases
#

It could have been something related to Sendmail..
is it enough to have it closed?

No one has reproduced this condition and the submitter suggests that perhaps 
they adjusted the perms manually.
