This is an unofficial patch to smail 2.5. It allows smail to try the hostname
as entered before trying any conversions.
Example:
old smail: host.sub.domain
try: .host.sub.domain
try: host.sub.domain
try: .sub.domain
try: sub.domain
etc
new smail: host.sub.domain
try: host.sub.domain \____ These two have been reversed
try: .host.sub.domain /
try: .sub.domain <-- from this point down the behaviour
try: sub.domain is the same.
etc
I've been running this for about 8 months without any problems. I cannot
guarantee that you will have the same results nor will take responsibility
for any loss mail that results from applying this patch.
