I found this problem running with smail-3.1.29 using its mailing list
processing rather than the :include:listname in the aliases file with
enties like:
list-name-outbound: list-name-outbound, list-name-archive,...
I found this problem goes away by cleaning up the list to remove everthing
but the e-mail address (no commented names, etc.). I wrote a perl script
that goes through a list file using the /usr/lib/sendmail -bv "address"
syntax to reduce the address to a clean form. There are probably more
elegant ways to do this, but this works and didn't require me to write an
address parsing program myself. I would be happy to post this cleanup
script if anyone is interested (or put it on our ftp site,
ftp.celestial.com).

Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity. It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation.
