Summary: private aliases are possible with sendmail

It is possible to allow private administration of aliases using sendmail.
For example, to create a list called foo-list, use:

	foo-list:	:include:/usr/foo/list

where /usr/foo/list is a list of the members of foo-list.  Anyone can own
this file.

If you want aliases expanded in the message header, use the alias facility
in Mail (a.k.a. xmail) or equivalent.
