I do not want to use anything that is obsolete and I do not want
the recipients email address in the "To:" field.

What I want in the "To:" field is exactly what the sender typed
in there.  So, if I have an alias in NIS+ as follows:

        richards_list:   [log in to unmask]

And, the sender sends an email message to

        [log in to unmask]

I would like the recipients of dicks_list-L to receive
an email message with a "To:" field that looks like:

        To:  [log in to unmask]

Is this possible?


And, when the user does a "Reply to All", I want the reply to
go to the sender and to "[log in to unmask]"

Is this possible?


Our set-up may have several sendmail aliases including the same
list for distribution so, I can not hard code a particular Reply-To:

I want "Reply to All" to go to the sender, and to whoever it was
sent.  Basically, want it to function exactly like NIS+ aliases
do when email is sent to a particular alias.

Thank you.
