2 problems with aliases in sendmail

A little bit of experimentation has revealed my mistake.  The sendmail
man page shows the syntax as:

    poets: ":include:/usr/local/lib/poets.list"

but this does not work.  The format shown by (I think) Steve Dyer

    poets::include:/usr/local/lib/poets.list

with the double :: does seem to work.

This also seems to solve the problem of having too many names for
makedbm to handle.
