Thanks to all who responded so quickly to my request. This list is great.
There were many good examples provided and they gave me some good ideas.

The missing piece of the puzzle was provided by Joe Young <jfy@cis.ksu.edu>
who said to look at ruleset 3 in my sendmail.cf file. Well, it wasn't
ruleset 3, but rulest 0 which had an incorrect entry which was rewriting
the address wrong. A little bit of tinkering fixed it right up :-)

For reference, the following test seems to show how it should be
rewritten:

        % /usr/lib/sendmail -bt
        ADDRESS TEST MODE
        Enter <ruleset> <address>
> 0 :include:/tmp/testlist
        rewrite: ruleset 3 input: ":" "include" ":" "/" "tmp" "/" "testlist"
        rewrite: ruleset 3 returns: ":" "include" ":" "/" "tmp" "/" "testlist"
        rewrite: ruleset 0 input: ":" "include" ":" "/" "tmp" "/" "testlist"
        rewrite: ruleset 9 input: ":" "include" ":" "/" "tmp" "/" "testlist"
        rewrite: ruleset 9 returns: ":" "include" ":" "/" "tmp" "/" "testlist"
        rewrite: ruleset 0 returns: $# "local" $: ":" "include" ":" "/" "tmp" "/" "testlist"

Thanks Joe, and all the others too.
