I'm having a problem with Smail 3.1.  Smail works just fine except when I
specify user@site.domain addresses.

Example:

jca@site                        Works ok
site!jca                        Works ok
jca@site.domain                 Bombs.  Mailer-daemon comes back with
                                unknown host.

Given that site is in my /usr/lib/uucp/paths file.


The operating system being used is ISC 2.0.2.  I have Smail 3.1 compiled with
the unix-generic drivers.  I have using the same /usr/lib/uucp/paths file that
worked with Smail 2.5 under SCO Xenix 386 2.3.3.  A smart-host entry is
defined in the paths file.

If my machine doesn't talk directly to the machine, it should bounce it to my
smart-host and have it handle its path.

I absolutely hate sendmail and I have heard that sendmail under ISC 2.0.2 will
bomb when smtp mail is used.

Any ideas?

 Thanks,
