I'd say this is sending all non-local mail to 'localhost' - hence the error
message you get. Try changing the 'localhost' above to your openBSD system's
name or IP address. The 'bydns_a' will expect to resolve the name via the
DNS. If its not in the DNS, then you can put the name and IP address into
the local hosts file (/etc/hosts), then add the 'gethostbyname' option to
the router:
smarthost:
driver=domainlist
gethostbyname
transport...etc, etc.
