Well, I found and solved my problem so no more suggestions,
please! The problem turned out to not be the sending
sendmail but the receiving one. I have two machines here,
Fritz and Felix. Felix talks to the outside world and
Fritz, hiding Fritz from the outside world. (Fritz is shy.)
Fritz's sendmail.cf sends all uucp addresses to Felix via an
SMTP connection for resolution.
So my mailing list looks like this:
a!b!c
x!y!z
...
q!r!s
and so on for lots more than thirty lines. Stupid me, I
never tried sending something to my list from Felix. I
always sent from Fritz. And Felix barfed after about thirty
addresses and told Fritz to eat the rest of them.
Well, I finally tried sending something from Felix and, lo
and behold, Felix p-r-o-c-e-s-s-e-d the entire list, albiet
s-l-o-w-l-y. So now I know the workaround and can
investigate the cure sometime soon.
Thanks for all the suggestions,
