Yes. You have to use different node names for Waffle and the rest of the
system.
I have my system named ichaos.nullnet, the waffle is named
field.ichaos.nullnet. (NullNet is our local UUCP-network, almost 30
hosts at the moment)
I use smail3.1.24 as mailer on my system, and at the end of this message
are my configuration files concerning Waffle/smail-interface.

Two ways to do this: arrange your Waffle to have different node name or
do some source hacking.

Ok, here is a bunch of sliced configuration files..

.smail/routers:
pathalias: driver=pathalias, method=normal, always;
	proto=bsearch, file=paths
************************************

.smail/transports:
mailin: driver=pipe,
	inet,
	from,
	max_addrs=1,
	max_chars=80;
	cmd="/usr/waffle/bin/mailin $user",
	umask=0022,
	log_output,
	pipe_as_sender
************************************

.smail/methods/normal:
field mailin
* uux
************************************

.waffle/extern/_system:
mail    /command="/usr/bin/rmail -f %A@field.ichaos.nullnet %i"
************************************

/etc/waffle (aka waffle/system/static)
node         : field.ichaos.nullnet
mail         : %A (%W)
news         : %A (%W)
netmail      : %W <%A@%n>
netnews      : %W <%A@%n>
************************************

.I wonder whether this is of any help for anyone...
