An even better solution still os go and get sendmail 8.6.
Why have everything forward off through a smart host when it can get
to its destination directly anyway? (OK, I know smail can be
configured... but it's a pain to get it to send out un-munged headers
and such anyway...)
... why get someone else to be smart for you when you can be smart
yourself? :-)

the Linux boxes using it as a smart-host because users get things wrong! :)
