   You can force Emacs to read the .mailrc by setting mail-aliases to 't.

Yup.  Here is a bit of code that causes it to happen automatically; I
believe I snarfed it from this mailing list several months ago.

; Reset mail-aliases to t when ~/.mailrc is written, so that mail-aliases
; will get updated before next send."
(setq write-file-hooks (cons 'alias-check write-file-hooks))
(defun alias-check() ""
    (if (equal ".mailrc" (file-name-nondirectory buffer-file-name)) 
	(setq mail-aliases t))
    nil)
