I've discovered the following problem with sendmail on our HP800 series
machines running HP-UX 2.1 (SysV'ish).  If two or more users have
identical .forward files (i.e.  for piping into the slocal prog of MH),
then mail to those users will only ever reach the first recipient.  Mail
for the other recipients is thrown away as 'duplicate suppressed'.  Is
this a known problem in other implementations, or do I need a devious
trick in the config file?

Regards,
	Neil Dixon.
