It's basically the same situation here. I think most mail movers use it in the 
same way you do, Bob.

I think an automated process would be helpful, sort of something like the 
echolist, but producing an automatically generated routing chart instead. If 
you had to update your routings regularly in order to keep them in the chart, 
that'd help to keep the chart accurate.

Getting everyone to buy into it would likely be the tough part, though...
