Don't forget to have a listing for yourself in the paths file or smail
will have trouble.  A sample small paths file would be:

host1	host1!%s
host2	host2!%s
smart-host	host1!%s
yourhost	%s

The file must be in alphabetical order and you must have exactly one tab
between the host name and the routing (don't try to pretty it up by making 
everything even).
