I just threw out HP's sendmail (YIPPEE!) and replaced it with smail (YIPPEE!).
While I THOUGHT that I was not a total idiot, now I'm not so sure:  what is
wrong with the following director:

listrequest: driver=aliasfile;
	file="${if origin:local {l.listmgrs} else {r.listmgrs}}", 
	proto=lsearch

Using it results in an error stating that the database does not exist, when
clearly both DO exist, in smail_lib_dir.  They are readable & writable only
by 'nobody', (not that 777 fixes the problem!)
The smail error text includes the text of the condition in the assignment as the
database name.

Obviously, I'm trying to maintain an alias list for list-request mail, with
different lists for local- and remote-origin mail.  (I don't like having to
edit the standard aliases for list-request and owner-list; I reserve the
basic aliases file for system mail-juggling, and don't allow user routing
in that file)
