I'm glad to hear someone else mention this, if only as a sanity check :-).

I've spent an incredible amount of time trying to make sendmail/smail work
right on a new ISC 2.2 system, to no avail.  Smail is just never getting
invoked, it appears.  Running smail directly in test mode seems to work
(at least the right headers are generated locally).

My configuration is ridulously simple: uunet is my only UUCP connection, and
I simply want everything to go to them.  The problem seems to be in getting the
system to recognize domain addresses without trying to route them locally
via SMTP.  When using bang style addressing, everything works OK.
