Hello VM'ers,

I'm not sure this is a vm problem.  It's may actually be a bug in
sendmail, but it manifests itself in vm, but not in some other mailers
(/usr/ucb/mail, elm and Sun mailtool are examples).

When I specify a To: recipient which is actually a yp alias, vm gives the
message to sendmail with "-t", which tells sendmail to search the message
for recipients.  Although sendmail *does* send the message to the correct
recipients, it also returns a "User unknown" error for the original alias
name.  sendmail _does_ correctly expand aliases, without reporting an
error, when the recipients are specified as part of the command line.

For the record:
	VM version 5.32(beta)
	SunOS 4.1.2 /usr/lib/sendmail
	GNU Emacs 18.58

I don't have much experience with (send)mail; is this a known problem with
a solution?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
