Re: Digests

I would add ,nobody to your resend line to prevent sendmail from
advertising your outgoing alias in the received line of message headers,
and the ,Denton McGregor portion of your owner-networks alias may not do
what you are expecting it to.  Does `newaliases` complain about that
line?  I would think it would treat the line as 3 aliases rather than 2,
and that Denton and McGregor would be 2 separate accounts on the local
server for it to work.  Back-slashes are not used at the end of a line
in the aliases file either.  Anything indented with white space is
considered a continuation of the previous line without having a need for
a continuation character.

To test your digests, look for 3 digit names of files in your
digest_work_dir after a message has been delivered to the list.  These
are temporary files that are used to build your digest message after
your size, lines, or age value in the config file is exceeded.
