It should have worked fine. The only real catch is that an individual
alias line can't be bigger than a DBM record (1024 bytes? something like
that). So my code takes the longer aliases and splits them up like this:
foo: user1, user2,.....,userN,foo-sub0
foo-sub0: userN+1,...,userZ,foo-sub1
foo-sub1: userZ+1,...
and so forth. Sendmail happily stitches all that back together so that
mailing to "foo" goes to everyone as you intended.
Did you lose aliases outright, or were individual long aliases truncated?
