I want to use Smail 3.1.21 (on various systems) to route external and internal mail to a network that that uses a non-standard user name convention. Specific- ally, brinkema@funnynet needs to be converted to John_Brinkema@funnynet; this conversion is to be done only if the destination is funnynet (ie. brinkema@oknet coming into the same smail - machine goes to brinkema@oknet whereever that is with *no* name conversion), so alias files don't seem to be the obvious tool. The name brinkema exits on several machines connected via a LAN and name should NOT be touched if sent to those machine. So what I *think* I need is a route sensitive aliaser. It is not possible to change the naming conventions on funnynet (it is an office-automation machine manageged and used by 'real people' who like full names as well as us UNIX types that live both there and on UNIX machines). Any ideas? jb.
