I suspect that I'm not getting as much out of pathalias as I could be.  I
downloaded and unshared the files from comp.mail.maps, and ran pathalias
on them.  However, is there some way that I'm supposed to use arpatxt to
integrate my host table into that?

The documentation suggests that pathalias may sometimes come up with mixed
addresses (i.e. host!user@host), but the way I've done it it will only
come up with pure UUCP addresses (since that's all that's in the maps,
right?)

Am I misunderstanding something?  Am I missing something?  What's the
*right* way to use pathalias?  (Right now, I'm just using it as a database
for looking up routes; I've written another little program to do so.)  Can
it somehow be automagically integrated into the mailer/sendmail or
something?

What I'm trying to ask is, "What's the Right Thing to do with pathalias?"
