Ummm....NetBSD comes with a perfectly nice one by default.  Did you
install base.tgz and etc.tgz?  It should have been in one of the two....

For a _really_ simple version, try:

MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster
postmaster: root


Add others as you like, but I'd suggest getting a copy of the
distribution's /etc/aliases file and go from there.  Don't forget to run
'newaliases' when you've finished editing it.  (It may simply be that you
haven't run 'newaliases' yet, so that /etc/aliases.db doesn't currently
exist...)

I hope this helps.

Later.
