I'm bringing up Smail 2.5 on my Xenix system.

I feed several other sites, but do most of my routing though a smarthost
so I don't have to keep huge numbers of maps around.

My site is known as cynic.wimsey.bc.ca or cynic.uucp.  I sometimes get
mail in for sites under me addressed to, say, gallifrey.cynic.uucp.
Unfortunately, unless I explicitly put gallifrey.cynic.uucp in my paths
file it ends up going back to my smarthost.

Is there any way to get smail 2.5 to take anything of the form
xxx.cynic.uucp or xxx.cynic.wimsey.bc.ca, try and uux it to xxx!user,
and bounce it if the system is not known to my uucp?

Is this even a good strategy to use for my mail?
