I try to keep my comp.mail.maps database as up-to-date as possible.
Therefore, I apply by hand any additions or changes posted to news.config
or news.newsites.  In the process of doing this today, I noticed that
there are two different sites claiming to be "chaos":

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
#N      chaos
#S      Microvax II; Ultrix-32m 1.2
#O      University of Oklahoma High Energy Physics
#C      Carl Rigney
#E      chaos!postmaster
#T      +1 405 325 3961 x307
#P      440 West Brooks, Norman, OK  73019
#L      35 12 30 N / 097 28 00 W city

Obviously, this will cause pathalias to generate incorrect routing
information.

To be fair, the site in Oklahoma was already in the u.usa.ok.1 map,
whereas the MA site was a recent posting to news.{config,newsites}
(I forget which).

I have temporarily declared the site "chaos" to be dead to pathalias
(pathalias -d chaos ...) to prevent mail from being mis-routed by
my site.

I'd send mail to the "#E" people, but since these two sites are now
not in my paths file, my mailer won't be able to find them.  :-)
