After months of telling people to set up their paths file as follows, 
I actually did it myself on a new system I was helping set up.

.uucp	%s
asite	asite!%s
mysite	%s
site2	site2!%s
smart-host	asite!%s
somesite	somesite!%s


The problem is that mail to user@non-neighbor.uucp bounces.  It seems
smail strips off the .uucp, then bounces it without trying the
smart-host.  user@asite.uucp (a neighbor) works fine, as does
user@non-neighbor  (without the .uucp suffix).  Am I overlooking
something, or will smail only parse the address once?

Thanks...
