[comp.mail.uucp] pathalias

#Take that you line-eater you!

Could someone in the local area please mail me a copy of pathalias.
I'd prefer if you could contact me first but I've gotten no previous
replies so I could probably manage to wade through a few copies if
you send it.

The latest version I have is from  1985, I understand that the latest is
past 1986. 

Please help me tidy up my mail system.

We are trying to get Unix/Unix mail working here, and seem to have
everything BUT mail routing working. I too could use a copy or
a pointer to an archive which has a copy. I have looked around in
SIMTEL20 without success, but that may well be my lack of experience.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

In answer to my request for information regarding 'weighting' uucp
connects in map entries, everyone pointed me towards the pathalias
man file.  Yep, there it was, and I thank you.  Not running a *nix
system DOES have a few disadvantages :-) .

I'm putting smail together - need some help with the paths database.

How do you convert the maps (from uumaps.tar.Z and the maps newsgroup)
into the paths database ?

Thank you

The smail documentation (paths.8) describes the format of the paths
file, and says to look at the documentation for 'pathalias' for more
information.

The documentation for 'pathalias' tells you everything you need to know.
Pathalias is available on all the major archive sites, including as

	~/mail/pathalias.Z

on UUNET.  (It was most recently released in comp.sources.unix volume 22.)

The Nutshell books also mention pathalias as the program to use.

In short, how the hell does one *avoid* pathalias?  And at Microport?

Never mind -- I don't really want to know.
