    I understand you're concern about segfaults - but would strongly urge
    you to send Debian Sendmail problems through me *FIRST*... If you don't
    get an answer in a reasonable time, by all means hit other lists...

    Note also, that with 8.12, the most that could happen here is obtaining
    group mail -- only the listener/delivery daemon is running suid root!

    Not here:
    # sendmail -t
    To: axyzzy.com; bxyzzy.com

    blah
    .
    axyzzy.com; bxyzzy.com... Invalid route address
    #

    I just get the expected return mail notice !

    What Kernel and hardware ?

    Please try to strace it - and send me the output (and
    /etc/mail/{sendmail,submit}.mc)
