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?
