Doug:

According to my Big Fat Book of Sendmail(TM) (Sendmail 2nd ed. O'Reilly), the syntax 
for the aliases file is:

|prg
"|prg args"
|"prg args"

I'd choose the last one, just to be sure:

some-list:[tab]|"/local/path/executable|/local/path/executable2"

But my guess is that your line should work too.

In theory, anything after the "|" will be passed to /bin/sh -c or /bin/smrsh -c 
(depending on your config)


Anyway, you always have the option of doing the piping in a script and call it from 
the aliases file :)
