You will also find that quite a number of USENET sites with smartmailers
will be above to route mail as follows:

	node!@smail_site.domain	where node is the UUCP (or related
					USENET "node", and smail_site is
					a site running a compatible (whatever
					that means) smart mailer thats can
					look up your intended destination and
					route accordingly.
					 is of course the userid of the
					indended recipient at the "node"
					machine.

Some will work, some will complain.  I know that we can forward mail
here with this syntax, running smail 2.5 .
