I am having trouble with my mail and am looking for some help.
I am running a hamm system, using smail for mail delivery. I have
attached copies of the smail config, transports, and routers file,
as well as a snippet from the smail logfile.
My machine is stout.mccorkle.home. The intent is to use a smart host
(mail.pcisys.net) for outgoing, non-local mail. The problem is that
I can successfully mail to some sites, while others get bounced.
>From the looks of the logfile, everything is the same in both cases.
I have looked in the Network Administrators Guide, the Mail HowTo,
the ISP Connectivity mini-howto, and very briefly in /usr/doc/smail.
Any advice or pointer to more info would be greatly apprceciated.

# ----------Begin-----------
# You really should know what you do here!
#WARNING: You will have to add a correct local definition for
# smtp_remote_allow if you have many local networks, or unset it
# if you wish to disable this feature (default).
#WARNING: The current implementation of this feature blocks
# relay from incoming SMTP to *any* outgoing transport. This
# means that even UUCP gateways require explicit permission if
# this feature is enabled.
# it's no longer off by default, so all hosts can relay mails over this host.
# as internet get more and more on the dark side ....
# only mails from the localnet are relayed
smtp_remote_allow=localnet
# This flag tells smail to verify the hostnames given in
# HELO or EHLO SMTP commands.
# it's off by default
# example to switch it on:
#+smtp_hello_verify
# more helo/ehlo verify switches, see manpages for details
#smtp_hello_verify_literal
#smtp_hello_verify_ptr
# A colon-separated list of host IP patterns that are
# allowed to deliver mail even though they have broken
# DNS or give incorrect or invalid HELO or EHLO SMTP
# greetings.
# it's off by default, which mean smtp_hello_broken_allow=*
# example to switch it on:
#smtp_hello_broken_allow=192.168.100.*
# Vixie / MAPS RBL (http://maps.vix.com/rbl)
# switch to turn on the Mail Abuse Protection System (MAPS)
# it's off by default
# example to switch it on:
#+vixie_rbl
#vixie_rbl_force_allow="192.168.100.10:[your local ip#]"
# Do not do dns lookups for MAIL FROM: address
# This is debian-Smail only feature... it WILL BE DELETED in the future
# It's only use is for local systems with no working dns System
# It's off by default

#+smtp_sender_verify
