>Description:
There is a non-matchable space at the beginning of keys retrieved
from the mail.aliases and mail.byaddr maps from a solaris NIS server.
This prevents pine (among others) from resolving mail aliases, even
if you're set to forward to the mailhost and let it resolve. This is
arguably a different problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
ypcat -k mail.aliases | head -1
ypcat -k mail.byaddr | head -1
