Is it really necessary to list 1,700 internal at&t sites in att's map
entry?  I figured I should check for paths going through att so nobody's
mail gets discarded, and I came up with over 2,000... so I added -datt to
the pathalias command line, and still came up with over 1,700... looked
at them all and they all (seemed to be) at&t internal sites.  Now, can't
you just say
att	.att.com
and then let internal sites be addressed as xxx.att.com?  It would make
it a lot easier to check for paths that are going through att that shouldn't
be, and would make the paths file all that much smaller.

 Just my 2 cents..
