[comp.mail] Need help with SMAIL 3.x

itkin@mrspoc.Transact.COM (Steven M. List) (05/14/91)

I admit that I'm not a wizard with Smail.  It works wonderfully and I'm
exceptionally glad that we've got it.  Now I have a small challenge -
I've moved a user from one host to another.  All within our own little
domain.  At some point the old host will go away.  So...

I'm trying to figure out how to have mail that arrives for:

    user@host1.Transact.COM

go to:

    user@host2.Transact.COM

without first going to the original host and being forwarded (either by
alias or .forward).

Eventually, I want to redirect ALL mail that is addressed to the original
host to an alternate host.  Basically, what I want to be able to do is:

    Intercept ALL mail for our domain on the main receiving host (mrspoc),
    strip off the host address information, and then send it to the 
    appropriate place either based on the aliases file or some other 
    mechanism. 

I've read about Smail's Routers and Transports and Directors and Methods
and I just don't think I've got it all.  Can anyone help me get this
set up?

Thanks!

Steven

P.S.  The version of SMAIL we have is "/\=-/\ Smail3.1.17.5 #17.6"
