[comp.mail.misc] map problems

chip@vector.Dallas.TX.US (Chip Rosenthal) (05/25/89)

Just stumbled upon a conflict in site names -- there is a "chief" in tx
and one in ca.  There are probably a bunch more of these.

I run some statistics on my maps, and sure enough this problem was noted
there.  To prevent others from finding additional conflicts the hard way,
I'm attaching my most recent stats below.

Two things to note:

(1)  This information is based on the "#N" header, so therefore really
     doesn't conform to reality.  That is, pathalias doesn't care a whit
     about "#N" values, it reads the actual data.

(2)  Just because a site is in this list, doesn't mean that there is a
     problem.  An obvious example is that a company with several gateways
     (e.g. .Foo.COM) listed multiple times will show up here.
