SUMMARY: sendmail maillist explosion

As always, I received lots of good quick responses.
 
My question was "how can I get maillists to expand beyond 10 deep on 8.7.5
sendmail?".
 
sfeng@cast.stanford.edu and tibbs@uh.edu replied with a seemingly correct
answer:

sola@s1.intelideas.com said to try 8.8.2. I'm guessing it is once again
a hard coded value on 8.8, as sfeng reported for 8.7.5.
 
Thanks for everyone's help.
