    hello t64-managers,

    >>>> sorry, there is a typo in the word 'userx' below,
         it should be 'mailist' instead.

    i am running T64 v5.1a with pk3 and sendmail v8.9.3.
    my sendmail is running with DefaultUser=nobody:nobody.

    i have the following setup in my aliases file
              .
         mailist: :include:/x/y
              .
              .

    now if i have file /x/y owned by nobody, mailx to 'mailist'
    (not 'userx') worked ok.

      ie. -rw-r----- 1 nobody users 49 Sep 27 13:45 /x/y

    but if i assign an acl to /x/y with :-
       setacl -u user:nobody:r-- /x/y

       ie.
               # file: /x/y
               # owner: aa
               # group: bb
               #
               user::rw-
               user:nobody:r--
               group::r--
               other::---

    i will be getting the following error :-

       ----- Transcript of session follows -----
    550 :include:/x/y... Cannot open /x/y: Permission denied
    554 mailist... aliasing/forwarding loop broken

    ______________________________________________________________

    Any idea what went wrong or is this a bug with my
    current version of sendmail on v5.x?

    Thanks for any response.

    Frederick.
