My apologies if this has been recently discussed, but a recent experience with
bounced mail prompts me to ask:  Is there any software around which can digest
the "Path: " header lines of news articles and produce supplemental input to
the "pathalias" program?

The experience prompting this request was the discovery that only site 'pixar'
advertises a contact for site 'penguin', but in real life pixar's 'uux' bounces
mail requests, apparently because 'penguin' isn't in his Systems (or L.sys)
file.  And, we don't even *have* a map entry for 'penguin'...

So, the only information I could use to re-try the mail transmission was to
find the original Usenet article, find out who 'penguin' sent the article to,
and enter that as a very-low bandwidth (half-dead?) link.

Please mail responses, as news is getting a little sporadic around here lately.

Thanks!				-charles@c3engr
