I think that this was discussed before, but is there anything that a sendmail
site can do to guard against To: lines that are rediculously long.  I've
gotten hit by two IBM systems recently. . . . .

Personally, I think that these long To: lines are ugly, and should be
replaced by an appropriate mailing list label, but when said mailing list
is made on some systems, the To: field still contains all of the addressees.
