I'm having some domain routing problems with smail 2.5.  I have a
small local map with van-bc as my smarthost.  My site is
cynic.wimsey.bc.ca and van-bc is also known as wimsey.bc.ca.  However,
when I send mail to user@wimsey.bc.ca it tries to deliver it locally
instead.

    smail -d user@wimsey.bc.ca

produces

    res_fname: looking for 'user'
    can't access /usr/local/lib/fullnames.
    resolve: parse address 'user' = 'user' @ '' (LOCAL)
    resolve 'user' = 'user' @ '' (LOCAL)
    COMMAND: /usr/local/bin/deliver 'user'

It doesn't seem to be looking in my smail paths file for wimsey.  Can
anybody help me out here?
