I made a modification to smail for sites our sites which allows the
specification of a forwarding host which will be sent any addresses that
the local host cannot send due to lack of information.

Thus, in your case, if the forwarding-relay host on BMS-AT were set to BMS
then any addresses not addressable using your database would be sent to:

	BMS!address!user

Thus you would not need to state explicitly that BMS is your gateway to all
domains, while this would effectively be the case.

If there is interest in these modifications, I will post the diffs to the
net in net.sources.  Alternately, I could mail them to anyone that wants
them.
