I am running smail 2.5. I am using emory to resolve domain and uucp addresses for me. This is done by a path's entry of smart-host emory!%s I want to mail to an address like 71131.3234@compuserve.com (dots on either side of the '@'), but smail sends this out as emory!copuserve.com!71131.3234 which emory rejects. Emory will handle emory!71131.3234@compuserve.com correctly, but I can only get this by modifying the uucp control files. I tried for quite a while to modify smail to handle this correclty but was unable to work my way through the C code. Apparently the way it works (on my system) is mailx (which I use) calls sendmail which calls smail which queues the mail. sendmail passes smail an address of the form a.b@c.d which smails resolve() reverses for me.
