The entry for "steinmetz" is announcing a gateway to GE.COM which does
not exist. Please modify your "u.usa.ny.2" map to remove the gateway
entry for ".ge.com".  Without this change your messages to the "ge.com"
domain may not be properly handled.

#define MY_OPINION

  Map installers should be wary of any 2nd level domain announcements
  in the "u.*" portion of the maps. The expected location of domain
  gateways is in one of the "d.*" maps.

#undef MY_OPINION

Here is the "diff -c" output for the change.
