This is the only FreeBSD list I'm on, so here's an "easy" if not
politically-correct question for the list.

     I'm running 2.2.5, with whatever version of sendmail comes with
it.  A friend doesn't want to use his login as his email, he wants to
use   firstname.lastname@domain.com (with real names in the
placeholders).  Knowing that their is an 8-character limit to the
checking done for login names, will the longer name structures work ???
I intend to alias the longer names to their login names. . . . . Is
there anything in FREEBSD or Sendmail, or popper for that matter, that
would screw up the use of longer names, even if there were two =
Alexander.one@domain.com    and Alexander.two@ domain.com ????
