Well, both |/path/to/command and :include:/filepath constructs are supported and work in theory. I added support for both and did basic testing, but I don't administer mailing list and no one reported them being broken so you should just give it a try and let me and eric@ know if it breaks.

Re: mailing list manager recommendation for smtpd?
Just so you know, this is not a critical requirement. I will NOT return to sendmail. I love what you have been able to accomplish, Gilles, and will stay with smtpd. I run a single small list; manual management is fine. I was hoping someone had already been down this path ahead of me and had a simple solution. I know... Postfix could be a circumvention, but I don't think I need that large a hammer for this small nail. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

Thanks Gilles. I have sent you and Eric a problem report including an example aliases file, a log from stepping through makemap.c in gdb, and a dmesg.
mailing list manager recommendation for smtpd?
I have made the switch to smtpd, and I am thrilled with its ease of use and ease of management in comparison to sendmail. I also run a small moderated mailing list, and am looking for a replacement for mail/majordomo that will integrate with smtpd. Majordomo requires both Commands and Include Files in aliases.db, neither of which I am able to deploy with /usr/libexec/smtpd/makemap running as newaliases. Does anyone have a recommended replacement? I have looked at mail/mailman and it seems generally MTA-agnostic from looking through the documentation. I have also looked at mail/mlmmj and mail/sympa. The latter two require alias database entries not yet supported by smtpd and its associated makemap. Is anyone using mail/mailman or yet again another mailing list manager with smptd? If so, I would appreciate any comments you may have, including specific provisioning recommendations or caveats discovered. (A light cluestick is all I'm after.) Thanks!
