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 .
