Or you could run a really basic /etc/aliases and then, only if
warranted, invoke a second Sendmail with a different .cf file which
reads the additional aliases when they are needed. This adds
overhead for the addresses which end up being handled by an alias,
but speeds up the Procmail part.
This should be addressed by the use-procmail-as-a-sendmail-rule hack
that's described in the procmail man page. We're using it that way and
it works well.

Efficiency can magnify good, but it magnifies evil just as well.
So, we should not be surprised to find that modern electronic
communication magnifies stupidity as *efficiently* as it magnifies
intelligence.
