Solutions:
==========
1. This is a feature of sendmail. Sendmail eliminates the sender from
the list of recipients. You can enable alias expansion by editing
the sendmail.cf and uncomment the following:
# send to me too, even in an alias expansion?
O MeToo
On other versions of Sendmail, you will have:
# send to me too, even in an alias expansion?
OmTrue # default is OmFalse
2. Most mail clients have a way of keeping a copy of sent-mail. If
you are using the plain old /bin/mailx or /bin/mail program,
you can edit your /etc/mail/mailx.rc file and add the following:
set metoo
3. There is a configuration option, confME_TOO, in the m4 file (*.mc).
The default is false. The syntax is something like:
define(`confME_TOO', True)dnl
Note: Be sure to stop/restart your sendmail daemon for changes to take
effect!!!

=================
Environment: Solaris 2.4, Sparc 10, Sendmail V8.7.5.
Configuration: I'm currently running Sendmail V8.7.5. I'm using
the :include: command in allowing users to control
part of the alias list. Here's part of the /etc/aliases:
engineers: :include:/home/jnguyen/list
Here's part of the /home/jnguyen/list file:
jnguyen@mmts.eds.com (john nguyen)
jblow@mmts.eds.com (joe blow)
bbob@mmts.eds.com (billy bob)
Question: Why is that when I mail a message to "engineers",
everybody will get my mail, except me??? Didn't matter
how I sort the list, I don't get mail whenever I mail to
"engineers". How do I fix this?
