Hi Folks,

   I have been asked to find a way around the problem with 0.1, that of the 
sendmail system dumping core when you exceed 117 live entries in the alias 
files.

  So the questions are. 

1)Do I need to compile a sendmail from say 1.0r on the .1 machine ?
2)Is this possible/advisable ?
3)is there any "easy" fix ?

(Unfortunately upgrading isn't an option for a number of months :( )

Any help Would be very greatly appreciated.
