one of our researchers asked to have a mail alias with 21 email addys.
now i have other aliases with email addys and even an in-house alias with
250+ addys (users).
when i send a test message using this new alias i get a :

May 27 12:43:43 tigger sendmail[15035]: AA00048: SYSERR: mapkey: result "
name_at_ucla.edu,name_at_mail.med.cornell.edu,name_at_yates.coph.usf.edu,name_at_nih.gov,

name_at_asu.edu,name_at_aol.com,name_at_vms.cis.pitt.edu" too long after expansion

in my syslog.
and i get a a returned undeliverable message from my mail system which says:

   ----- Transcript of session follows -----
