Our uucp net looks like this:

		   __ ...
		  /
	BMS -- BMS-AT -- vrdxhq -- seismo ...
		     \		/
		      \_ dgis _/

We have installed smail with a full path database on BMS.  It works
great.  I can route addresses from BMS-AT with:

	mail BMS!user@foo

I would like to use smail on BMS-AT, but not use the full database.
I would like only gateway addresses in the database.  I would like
BMS to route uucp names.  (I know, I could let seismo do it.)
I would like to be able to enter:

	smail user@foo

from BMS-AT and have the message sent to 'BMS!user@foo'.  Here
is what I put in the 'paths' file.

.UUCP	BMS!%s
BMS	BMS!%s
BMS-AT	BMS-AT!%s
UUCP	BMS!%s

Ultimately, I would put all our local connections and all domain
gateways in BMS-AT, but I wanted to start with a minimum database.
It doesn't work.  I get the message 'foo getpath failed' and it tries
to send the mail to 'foo!user'.  If I try 'user@foo.uucp', it works.
Do I have to use 'foo.uucp' to use seismo for routing also?  
MYDOM is set to '.UUCP'.  I know I must be pretty dense, but please
explain.
