At U of M, we have added a couple of nameserver resolver routines to
look up MB and MG records and return a comma separated list of addresses
(which is what sendmail likes).  Once you have these resolver routines,
the changes to sendmail are minor (alias.c is modified a little).  

The new resolver routines are available along with some other nameserver
stuff on terminator.cc.umich.edu in ~ftp/unix/bind4.8.1.tar.Z.  For
more information contact hostmaster@umich.edu.              -- Tim
