Works just fine.  In some previous release, however, I found I
had to add an extra member, (generally "nobody"), to the
netinfo entry after the  :include:/filepath.  Unfortunately, can't
remember why...as I recall, the last member of the mailing
list was getting dropped without this.  I have found, however,
that under 2.0, if an address in the mailing list include file
is stale, sendmail will die at that point, and refuses to
distribute the mail to the rest of the recipients in the list.
Anyone else have this problem?
