These config files should help people having trouble with Slackware
linux smail configuration. However, I would suggest that before going
further, you get the file
   ftp.uu.net:/networking/mail/smail/smail-linuxbin-3.1.29.1.tar.gz
This version works very well and is the only version I know of that is
properly compiled for linux.

If you install the above version on an existing slackware setup, you
probably will need to make a symbolic link from /usr/lib/smail to
/etc/smail. Then place the config files in this package into the
/usr/lib/smail directory. Edit the config file to put in your domain
information. rename either routers.uucp or routers.net to routers,
depending on how you are exchanging mail and smail should work.

The best way to test your smail configuration is to use the smail test
mode. If you type

smail -N -d9 user@host.com 2>&1 | more  

smail will display all the steps it uses to attempt to deliver mail.
This can be very helpful in tracking problems in your configurtion. You
can increase the debug level up to 99 for really detailed info.

Also, if you look at the configuration example files in the smail source
directory, you will find good commented examples of other more complex
delivery methods.
