I tried to send mail to "igb@Fulcrum.BT.CO.UK" and my mail went off to
a fulcrum hanging off of splut.  Here's the pathalias output from my
current map run:

fulcrum	bywater!uunet!sugar!splut!fulcrum!%s	420
fulcrum.bt.co.uk	bywater!uunet!sugar!splut!fulcrum!%s	420

The u.gbr.1 entry for fulcrum looks ok; the only other entry for
a fulcrum is a direct link to splut in u.usa.tx.2.  That fulcrum
has no direct entry in the maps.  Splut seems dead - the mail bounced
after a few days in sugar.

My pathalias version is "@(#)main.c 9.5 88/06/10".
