Subject: Alias file formats

Some of my users have mailling lists files of the format

<J.Smith@???>    John Smith


which are accessed by use of the :include: directive in an alias file.
Sendmail copes with this perfectly OK, but exim barfs. Do these people have to
convert their lists, or is there are workaround (I have tried setting
skip_syntax_errors to no avail) ?

Thanks,
