I would like to use the mod.map data for automatic routing.  

It seems that the method is:
	unbundle mod.map.* postings
	produce path information from map files
	have sendmail (I'm on 4.2) look up paths

Posted solution known to me are:
	mkcon - takes map files and turns out useless gunk.
	pathalias - produces reasonably useful path data from 
		some unknown input data (modified mkcon output 
		works minimally).
	
Questions:
	Is there a complete package to handle everything from 
	unbundling to sendmail?

	-- if not --

	Do I use mod.map.uucp or mod.map.news? (does map.uucp exist?)
	What is pathalias's intended source?
	How do I get sendmail to do routing, short of writing my own
	mailer?

Thanks.
