Seconded - especially for those of us not familiar with the smail approach,
but have had our brains curdled with another well-known MTA beginning with
's' and ending in 'mail' ... ;-)

f) `switch' - handles all mail for given set of domains by passing to
local `smarthost'. Accepts mail from smarthost for onward internet
delivery. No local deivery.
g) smarthost - performs local delivery for given set of domains.
Hosts user's mailboxes, with user's details looked up from (dbm)
tables, *not* passwd file, for performance.
h) (g) with (c), etc...
Answers on a postcard, please :)
