I posted because I haven't seen this in this group lately, and there may be
others interested. The program is called "smail". Its in the archives. I will
allow you to do user@machine.blah.blah type addressing. You can use a simple
/usr/lib/uucp/paths file with just
host	host!%s	0
smart-host	host!%s	0

and rely on you host to do REAL @ to ! conversion for you. It works by splicing
itself between the user interface to mail and the real /bin/mail.

I did not suggest sendmail, because I don't have a working version of it yet.

John
