My understanding is that this limit only applies to the "actual" alias. In
other words, the "include" doesn't get expanded by dbm, but by sendmail
itself. I suspect the problem is elsewhere. Unless of course your <list>
name is a couple of hundred bytes long :)
Which sendmail, majordomo and perl are you running?
