Does anyone know what magic is required to get sendmail (Ultrix 4.1) to
use YP-distributed aliases?  I've built a YP mail.aliases file, ypmatch
can match the key in the mail.aliases database, but sendmail won't
use it.  I've RTFM - the aliases(5) man page refers to the "Guide to
Yellow Pages Service", but there's nothing that I can find in that
FM that refers to YP-distributed aliases.

The YP master is a DECstation 5000, the clients are other DECstations
5000s (all running Ultrix 4.1) and Suns of various flavors running
Sunos 4.0.3 or 4.1.1.
