I've been attempting to start handling mail for systems under mine via
smtp and I'm getting one glitch I can't seem to debug.  Someone out there
should see the problem right away.

I've always just set all my mail to my smart host with no problems.  Now 
I need to be able to route mail to and for a system called 'wtad' which is
a novell system running Pegasus.  There is a Charon gateway called 'cms'
which is the gateway for wtad.

If I send mail to user "joeb@wtad", the cms SMTP debug window shows a 
connection from my system, then gets a RCPT for wtad!joeb@cms and promptly
rejects it.  I would think it should say "cms!joeb@wtad" but I can't seem
to find where my system is switching the system names.

Here is my entry in the paths file:


cms.hauppaugeny.ncr.com         cms!%s
wtad.hauppaugeny.ncr.com        cms!wtad!%s

and my smtpinfo file:

cms	via-smtp:cms!%s

I looked in the sendmail.cf file but it looks cryptic.  I added a suggest
entry for a rule:

#R$*<@wtad.$D>$*		$#tcp$@wtad.$D$:$1<@cms.$D>$2

Does anyone know where this error may be comming from?

Gracious thanks in advance for any help or suggestions,

- JoeB
