6 years of running Apollos teach you lots of handwaving tricks
(not sure if that's :-) or :-()

the best part about it is that you don't have to come up with any specialized
smail routers or transports, which get kind'a nasty to look at.  I run on just
the compiled-in defaults and have only a 5 line paths file and 5 line config
file for smail and everything works.
