[Mailman-Users] Weird issue sendmail + mailman + nis aliases

I'm working on setting up a new mailserver. I'm running sendmail 8.13.3,
mailman 2.1.5, spamassassin, clamav and all of that. I've also got most of
the mail aliases for users coming from an NIS map. The issue is that when
I set up a mailman list, I'll subscribe a few users with with the full
email address, user at blah.com. If I send an email to the list, the messages
will drop when it gets tossed back to sendmail as 'Unknown user'. I
believe the issue is where I have two aliases per user, such as
blah: blah at machine1, blah at machine2.
If I have a user in NIS such as:
blah: blah at machine1
or whatever, it will work with no problems.
I'm not sure why this is failing... I've tried a few different things. If
I set the list up as the first alias, everything works fine. Bypassing
mailman and using pine/nail, everything works fine from the local host as
well. Mailing between all other daemons and sendmail seem to be working
properly, just anything going to a mailman list, with multiple aliases per
user... Anyone ever seen anything like this? I initially thought it was a
sendmail issue, but sendmail seems to be working fine for everything else.
I'm just unsure how mailman would fit into the issue... It's bouncing
right when it tosses the mail back to sm-mta... I also thought maybe it
was an issue in submit.cf with the AliasFile definition, I added an NIS
map to that line as well, no change...
