Hey, I don't understand the problem.  I use smail, and really like it.
Mail sent to foo@bar gets 'routed' there.  mail sent to 'a!b!c!d' gets
pushed on the uucp mailer.	If, perchance, we don't talk to 'a' then
smail tries to build a route to 'a', if that fails, smail tries to build
a path to 'c', then 'b'.  If some other site sends mail through 'otto' then
and it is a valid path, nothing gets touched.  (i.e. we talk to the
machine 'a' in the above example), if not, then the rest of the rules
are followed.  If smail can't find your silly machine, or any other
in the path, THEN the mail bounces..
