You will also find that quite a number of USENET sites with smartmailers
will be above to route mail as follows:

	node!<uid>@smail_site.domain	where node is the UUCP (or related
					USENET "node", and smail_site is
					a site running a compatible (whatever
					that means) smart mailer thats can
					look up your intended destination and
					route accordingly.
					<uid> is of course the userid of the
					indended recipient at the "node"
					machine.

Some will work, some will complain.  I know that we can forward mail
here with this syntax, running smail 2.5 .
