Sigh. Another case of RTFM. I did RTFM when I installed smail, but
didn't really understand the three routing possibilities (JUSTDOMAIN,
ALWAYS, REROUTE), so I left it at the default (JUSTDOMAIN). Of course
this tells smail NOT to reroute just uucp paths. I did a little more
digging in the code, and finally figured out I want ALWAYS routing. I
changed it, and everything works as it's supposed to. Sorry 'bout
that.
