[comp.mail.uucp] Wanted: How do I kludge sendmail to use Pathalias data?

tpc@bnr-fos.UUCP (Tom Chmara) (10/18/88)

I've finally got a full (more or less) map built using Pathalias as
kindly provided by the friendly folks at Waterloo...  S'wonderful, S'marvellous,
but I'm stuck now with a file full of finely-ground mailing paths and
a mailer (SunOS4.0) which couldn't find its way out of a wet paper bag.
What kind of kludges to the CF files need to be done?
Do I have to go to the 4.2/4.3 sendmail, for which I have sources, and
kludge sendmail itself?  Both?  Neither?  Is this time to go to SMail?
Inquiring minds need to know!
	Thanks for your time...

If you have sendmail 5.59 sources, you can do the job with the IDA kit,
available from your local comp.sources.unix archives.  It's overkill if
you just want something small and simple that doesn't need to be completely
understood and tweaked every week.  Get Smail (again from comp.sources.unix)
if you want a simpler and weaker but sufficient answer to the same problem.
