Hi all,
     I seem to have a rather unusual problem. We are running two 2100s and
an HP I-70. One of the 2100s (DU 3.2c) is our NIS server. If we have an
aliases set up in the /var/yp/src/mail.aliases file, and that alias
includes upper case letters, Sendmail on the DECs will not recognize it.
At the same time the HP has no problems.

     An example to illastrate:

mail.aliases bit:
ckrieger: ckrieger_at_decsrv2
Clifford_Krieger: ckrieger
Krieger_Clifford: ckrieger
