Hello Mick,


There is a problem with your sendmail setup, I would guess.

:include: can be a security risk.
If mail is sent to :include:file sendmail will basically take file and 
try to use each line as recepient.
For example,if it was allowed to issue RCPT TO::include:file in the 
SMTP-Session you could read any file on the mailserver, because 
sendmail would repeat each line in the resulting error-messages.

How did you send your mail to list-out? From a remote client or 
invoking sendmail from your shell on the mailserver?
Did you try both?

What is your setup, do you use the MSP/MTA default setup? The UseMSP is 
one of the conditions on which mail to :include: will result in a 
reject (take a look into the sendmail-source.)

What does your mail-logfile say?


Regards
Susan Barnes
