Fred,
	You goofed! The correct format for the map files now that the
original UUCP Zone is dead, and UUNET is handling things is:

#N	uucpname
#F	forwarder1.frobozz.org [, forwarder2.cheapo.net ]

And in the pathalias data:

uucpname	.do.main
uucpname   =	fully.qualified.domain.name

Note the leading dot on the first domain declaration! That's a
domain gateway declaration to pathalias. The second declaration is a
name equivalence (what are all the names your host has? Make sure, as
Fred said, that you can recognize your own name).
