Subject: FUZZY matching in 5.65a/IDA-1.42

I'm using sendmail 5.65a/IDA-1.42 with fuzzy name matching turned on.
I have noticed that if there is a user, say "Fred Blogs" with user name
fb23 then mail to  fred.blogs will get spooled to /usr/spool/mail/fb23
even if there is an entry in /etc/aliases.  I would like to retain the
fuzzy name matching but would prefer to see the mail sent to the "right"
place (where /etc/aliases says it should go).   Is there any easy fix? 
Is there a later version of sendmail/ida that I should be using?
Thanks,
Mike Meyer
