Sendmail 5.57 that comes with Ultrix 3.0 will work just fine with

FN/etc/passwd %[0-9a-zA-Z_-]

I can't make 5.61 use it, though.  If I use

FNfilename

where filename contains a list, one per line, of all of the users
on the system, it will work.

Had this problem been brought up before and I missed it?
