Hi.

I have a little trouble configuring smail 3.1.26.

I want to get our mails routed as follows:

The gateway between the UUCP net and our local TCP/IP net I'll call
m0. The machine, where all mailboxes for users who are known all across
our network via NIS/YP, should be located is m1.
Mail into the UUCP net I want to get sent to a smarthost named m2 by m0.
Mails from m2 to user@machine.do.main, where do.main is the domain of
our company, I want to get routed as follows:
If the machine is known in our local network, smail should check if the
user is known by the NIS/YP system. If he is not, the mail must be sent
to user@machine. If he is, then it must be sent to user@m1.
Mail to user@do.main I want to get routed like mail to user@m0.do.main
(see mail to user@machine.do.main).

I can configure smail to send mail to user@machine.do.main to
user@m1.do.main generally (with a queryprogram driver in routers).
But I don't get the user part there. So I can't decide wether to deliver
the mail to machine _or_ to m1.

Another problem are mails to user@do.main. The director recognizes them
as local and the router doesn't get them.

I hope I was able to explain how I want to configure smail. All hints are
appreciated. Thanks in advance,
    Markus
