[tor.general] mailpaths file

Now that there is no 'backbone' per se, I'd like to know if changes to the
mailpaths file are in order.

Are there any sites in this distribution that have mapped the aliases for
moderated groups? To date, according to the information I have, the nearest
site with that capability is watmath. Is this still true?

It strikes me that it would not be particularly difficult to turn the
regularly posted list of moderators into such a series of aliases. Is
there a reason why this practice is not widespread?

The issue may be moot if Cnews handles moderated groups differently.
Is the official release of Cnews available yet?

Pretty much the same, actually; we couldn't see any room for massive
improvements, and wanted to keep compatibility.

Not quite yet.  Our official release date was the 24th, and this will
probably slip a week or so due to my being home sick most of the week
following Usenix.
