That was the first thing I did when I got smail.
It is *very* kludgy, but easy and simple, and it
works!
---------begin route.c---------
main(argc, argv)
int	argc;
char	*argv[];
{
	char	user[BUFSIZ];
	char	domain[BUFSIZ];

	resolve(argv[1], user, domain);
	if(domain[0] == '\0')
		printf("%s\n", user);
	else if(user[0] == '\0')
		printf("%s\n", domain);
	else
		printf("%s!%s\n", user, domain);
}
----------end route.c----------

And add this to your smail Makefile:

----------begin
route:		$(OBJECTS)
		rm -f xmain.c
		sed -e 's/^main/niam/' < main.c > xmain.c
		cc $(CFLAGS) -c xmain.c
		cc $(ROBJECTS) xmain.o route.c -o route
		rm -f xmain.o xmain.c
-----------end

Then do a "make route".
