NIS aliases

Greetings...

I have procmail 3.10 running on an Alpha running Digital Unix 3.2.  I
have configured my sendmail 8.8.5 to use procmail as its local delivery
agent.  The problem I am seeing is when I use procmail to send mail
(called as mail) it cannot understand NIS aliases, or local aliases for
that matter.  I have looked through all the docs I could find, but saw
no hints for this behavior.  Is this a know limitation? 

The work around I used was to defined /bin/procmail as the deliver agent
instead of /bin/mail where /bin/mail was procmail renamed.  This made it
possible for programs which called /bin/mail (now the real one) to send 
a message to an alias.  But I still would like to find out why procmail did
not check my aliases file.

thanks...
