Something is wrong here with your maps, anyway. There does indeed exist
a map entry for ddsw1. But that's besides the point.

Actually, the shut-off of third-party e-mail did not being in earnest until 
the 21st of September, but again, that is besides the point.

The next version of the pathalias map for .ATT.COM will no longer list these
external connections. I was using the "<machine>" pathalias syntax until the
actual shut-off occurred. Now that it has been put into place, these
entries will be removed from the map.
