Hi,

        I got the right answer from Richard J. Niziak <rickn@ma.copley.com>.
        He told me that the problem was in sendmail.cf.
        His message is:

---Richard's mail-------------------------------------------------------

Check your sendmail.cf file for the entry 0b10 and change it to a larger
number like 20.. the 0b option sets sendmail to refuse to send tiny
messages to lists that have 10 or greater recepients...

1)Modify /etc/mail/sendmail.cf with the change above
2)kill the sendmail daemon
3)Create a new frozen configuration file:
  % /usr/lib/sendmail -bz
4)Restart sendmail:
  % /usr/lib/sendmail -bd -q1h

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

        Thanks to Richard and thanks also to karl@water.ca.gov

        Bye, Vittorio Giannni
