Hello everyone out there in netland....

I have a couple of questions/problems with Sendmail 5.65b with IDA
1.4.3 enhancements:

1) I got it from UIUC, but for the life of me I cannot get it to work
   with phquery...I have qi/ph installed and it seems to work fine.  Does
   anyone know the magic incantations to make sendmail call phquery to
   check for an email address ?

2) How does one set up the PATHALIAS table to use the Internet names
   of sites to make UUCP mail delivery more efficient?  For example,
   the path from here to username at the uucp site unisql is:

	fernwood!ames!cs.utexas.edu!uudell!sequoia!unisql!username

   but since cs.utexas.edu is on the Internet, the message could be
   delivered much more efficiently to:

	uudell!sequoia!unisql!username@cs.utexas.edu

   Or mail to username@xanth.UUCP, gets rewritten (based upon the
   pathalias table) to:

	fernwood!ames!xanth!username

   Where it could better be sent to:

	username@xanth.cs.odu.edu


Any help would be greatly appreciated, pointers to the correct FM or
whatever.

Thanks in advance,
Emmett
