The UUCP map for autodesk (in u.usa.ca.2) advertises a UUCP link: autodesk vector(DEDICATED) Unfortunately, this vector is in Switzerland. It is unrelated to the real vector registered by Dallas Semiconductor years ago. This causes pathalias (on cs.utexas.edu, at least) to route vector's mail like this: vector uunet!autodesk!vector!%s Worse, because the link is DEDICATED, letni's mail (and the 288 routes through letni!) gets routed into the Swiss bit bucket via autodesk!vector!letni. Groan. The autodesk administrator has already sent in a corrected map entry, but you'all may wish to edit your maps until the new version gets fielded.
