I am running smail 3+ on an SCO XENIX system, and have noticed a serious
problem with routing.

Mail for imex.org is being misrouted to system panth. Panth was the correct
site a year ago, but is no longer handling imex.org mail, as the smail paths
file shows:

#
.n81.z89.imex.org	cowichn!%s
n81.z89.imex.org	cowichn!%s
.imex.org	cowichn!%s
imex.org	cowichn!%s
panth.almanac.bc.ca		panth!%s
#

I've grepped for panth in /usr/lib/smail, and for imex.org - the only
references are from the paths file, above. 

Can anyone shed some light on this mystery? There is obviously something
that is incorrectly routing the mail, but I'll be damned if I can locate it.
