The smail documentation (paths.8) describes the format of the paths
file, and says to look at the documentation for 'pathalias' for more
information.

The documentation for 'pathalias' tells you everything you need to know.
Pathalias is available on all the major archive sites, including as

	~/mail/pathalias.Z

on UUNET.  (It was most recently released in comp.sources.unix volume 22.)

The Nutshell books also mention pathalias as the program to use.

In short, how the hell does one *avoid* pathalias?  And at Microport?

Never mind -- I don't really want to know.
