Well, I too am beginning to dislike smail ... but not becuase my mail get
bounced around ... but because (because, because, of the wonderful things...)
it doesn't even come near considering geographic area ... Eg: location!!
This, ofcourse, could be mostly the fault of pathaliases ... but I won't
point any fingers ( ^^ )
Quite often I have large pieces of mail shipped all over the country.
From Boston to Miami to Denver to Canada [back] to Miami then to San Jose.
Even though I specify a direct path (quick and fast), all it takes is
one smail site to reroute the message BACK across the country ... and two
weeks later my 99K mail gets to me.
Oh well. Smail is atleast great for domains ... but geographical domains
would also be nice (providing geographical domains are used to reach
the target geographical domain ... eg: mail to joe.ca from site.maine doesn't
need to be routed to site.europe ... you get the idea )
But I'm crazy anyways...
