It's becoming a real pain in the butt when I want to email something to my
entire address book and I have to systematically type in every entry.  Is
there a way to setup an electronic mailing list.  like I type in the name
of the list and the message is sent to everyone that is on the list?
Someone please help!!!

In the address book use "S - CreateList" and "Z - AddToList".  There may
be some limits to the number of names that can be contained in a list.

On a unix computer there is also a system wide alias file "/etc/aliases"
that can contain aliases for individuals and groups.

Yes, set up a list.
I suggest you go to the addressbook (M A) and then type ? to get
addressbook help data. Look for information on lists.

The following is something I've posted before:
=========
Here is my attempt at writing a "FAQ-like" description of how I got the 
USERDB to work with pine.  I sent this to the Sendmail FAQ, but it
hasn't been added since I last checked.  I'm using an older version of
sendmail (8.6.12 I think), so there are no guarantees.  I would
encourage you to post a "feature request" or the likes to
comp.mail.sendmail about this. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------
  * How do I get the user database (userdb) to work with Pine.

        The basic incompatibility with Pine and the user database option
        is in how Pine writes From addresses in the header.  Most MUAs 
        write the From address as "From: user", while Pine, for reasons
        given in its documentation, write the From address as 
        "From: user@FQDN" (FQDN=fully qualified domain name).  Because of
        this difference, the user database does not rewrite pine headers.

        One solution to this problem is to make the following change in
        /etc/sendmail.cf after you have the user database option installed
        and working with other MUAs:

        In the "local info" section, add the following:

                # Define our userdb file for pine rewrites
                Kuserdb btree -o /etc/userdb.db

        After ruleset 0, add the following as ruleset 1:

   ##################################################
   ### Ruleset 1, rewrite sender header & envelope ##
   ##################################################
   #Thanks to Bjart Kvarme <[email-masked]>
   S1
   R$- < @ $=w . > $*   $: $1 < @ $2 . > $3 ?? $1       username@localhost ?
   R$+ ?? $+            $: $1 ?? $(userdb $2 : mailname $: @ $)
   R$+ ?? @             $@ $1                           Not found
   R$+ ?? $+            $>3 $2                          Found, rewrite
        
   #NOTE      ^^^^^^^^^^       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
   #          Use Tab Characters  Use Tab Characters in these regions
   # to make three columns (the line with "mailname" only has 2 columns).

        Now the user database should re-write messages sent with Pine.

        If this still does not work for you, try adding the following
        to either the system wide pine.conf, pine.conf.fixed, or your 
        personal .pinerc:

                user-domain=localhost

        This has been known to help solve the problem for some people.
	** The drawback of this is Pine 3.92 gives you error messages
	   since localhost is not a FQDN...but if you just ignore the
	   warnings, things still work.

Any thanks for the above should be sent to: Bjart Kvarme 
<[email-masked]> who was kind enough to post this solution a
while back.
