This weekend I added support to sendmail 8.6.12 for hesiod as a
generic map type.  This allows one to use hesiod in place of nis,
ndbm, hash, or btree.  I intend to use this primarily for mail aliases
and was wondering if other people are doing the same.  If so, what
are you using for the hesiod "type".  I thought of overloading the pobox
type but that seems fraught with possible problems.  Just using "alias"
seems reasonable, but it may be too generic...
Once I've tested my changes some more, I'll send them in to Eric.
