- UPDATE: I received a note from tron@veritas.com, who suggested I try 'pathto
- user@imex.org' to see what resulted. The result was 'user@cowichn', which is
- correct. At the same time, two messages were misrouted to panth. Here are
- the headers:

- Note that panth does not appear in the headers. How can this happen?
- If /usr/lib/smail/paths isn't being read, where is the misrouting
- information being found by smail?
-
- What am I missing here?
