I suspect that I'm not getting as much out of pathalias as I could be. I downloaded and unshared the files from comp.mail.maps, and ran pathalias on them. However, is there some way that I'm supposed to use arpatxt to integrate my host table into that? The documentation suggests that pathalias may sometimes come up with mixed addresses (i.e. host!user@host), but the way I've done it it will only come up with pure UUCP addresses (since that's all that's in the maps, right?) Am I misunderstanding something? Am I missing something? What's the *right* way to use pathalias? (Right now, I'm just using it as a database for looking up routes; I've written another little program to do so.) Can it somehow be automagically integrated into the mailer/sendmail or something? What I'm trying to ask is, "What's the Right Thing to do with pathalias?" -- Mark Sirota - University of Rochester, Rochester, NY Internet: msir@cc.rochester.edu Bitnet: msir_ss@uordbv.bitnet UUCP: ...!rochester!ur-cc!msir
