I'm curious as to what addresses you are using.  20 aliases seems
awfully short -- unless of course you are using very long addresses.
You can define HDRSIZ in config.h to be larger.  This controls the
size limits for all mail headers.  By default, it's set to BUFSIZ.
If you're on an older UNIX or xenix box, that might be as little as
256, so then I could see the problem.
