I have not found this to be the case running the sendmail/procmail configuration on Solaris..
An alias such as root (on our site) will be expanded out to the appropriate user1 and user2 and run procmail for each user appropriately..
I have also found that emailing to lists (list: :include:/etc/mail/lists/list) works in exactly the same way as above..
I have had a look through my sendmail.cf and can't find anything that would suggest the behaviour you are describing below..
What kind of results are you getting from expn?

| Subject: [SAtalk] Filtering spam sent to mail aliases |
>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
I'm running Sendmail on a Linux server, and I currently have Spamassassin set up for my users. Since some of them are untrusting of mail filtering apps, I use individual .forward files to enable SA for users who want it. The .forward calls Procmail, and the user's procmailrc file handles the piping to sendmail, trashes messages that have a spam score of 10+, etc.
The problem I have is that we use a _lot_ of mail aliases for various things. Some of these aliases have been in place for years, and are being _pounded_ by spam on a daily basis. I've figured out that SA does not filter mail sent through aliases because Sendmail processes it directly to the list members' inboxes, bypassing Procmail. I need to find a way to work
around this. What are my options?
One thing I could do is create actual user accounts for these aliases, and run SA on them, but that's annoying and inefficient. Another suggestion I found in the list archives was calling a script from the aliases file that processes the mail through SA and then delivers it to the appropriate users. That seems workable, but if someone could send me some sample code for that it would be helpful. Finally, I thought maybe I could pipe directly to SA from the aliases file, but I'm not positive that I can keep all of the code within the aliases list. For example, could I do:
info: |/usr/bin/spamassassin foo,bar,ham
where foo,bar,ham are the local user accounts that the alias is supposed to
write to?
Any suggestions for how I can solve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
