I don't read this news group that often but has anyone noticed
that sendmail, if taking aliases from a .mailrc file, does not
"allow" a second address after the first if the first is an
alias???

For example:

My .mailrc file says:

	alias hymm foo!baz
	alias her foo!bar

and I put

	To: hymm her

Sendmail.el, when it tries to expand the aliases, will not expand the
second alias.   It also chokes if the second address is an explicit
address.  Mail comes back to me with the aliases not expanded or partially
expande (i.e. one alias is the other(s) aren't).

I'm running GNU V18.41 under BSD4.2 on a NS32016 system.  Has sendmail
been modified to fix this problem?
