Please help!!

I don't really believe I'm this dumb, but I can't seem to get smail configured 
properly for my system. I realize this isn't a final release I'm working with
but it was so easy to install on my last system I didn't think it would matter.

I am administering a Sun 3 server with diskless workstations NFS'd onto it. The
problem I am having is this:

	I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get smail configured to
	do the proper thing from workstations. Mail initiated on workstations
	should be forwarded via the local mailer to the server machine, which
	will then attempt delivery.

Mail from the server machine seems to work fine. Now, I am no sendmail demon or 
BSD wizard so it's possible (highly likely) I blew something in the set up but 
WHAT?????

If you have any ideas, please email me. I'm not in your maps, so you'll probably
have to address it by hand. ( Lack of reliable mail is one reason I'm not there.
Lack of a local feed has something to do with it also. ). If you can't get your 
mailer to mail to me, try mailing c/o scott@rdahp.UUCP He should be able to 
forward stuff.

Thanks for the help.
