This should be a simple problem that's avoiding my reasoning: Maybe I've overlooked the obvious, but I can't seem to get smail to send *everything* I generate to a nearby smart host for path resolution. That is, in order to send mail to xxx!yyy, I want my system to send mail to smart-host!xxx!yyy and let smart-host do the rest. What obvious feature have I missed in the smail docs?

Make sure that a line of the form: smart-host real-uucp-name-of-that-smart-host!%s ends up in your paths file. --Karl

So Karl's answer should have been that the whole file be the single line he shows. Myself, I'd do the following: mysite %s smart-host smartsite!%s The first line will make sure that smail won't try to send local mail off to the smart-host. - paul -- INTERNET: paul@devon.LNS.PA.US | How many whales do you have to UUCP: ...!rutgers!devon!paul | save to get a toaster?
