Well If I move the section smarthost: up into the routers section I recieve
thee same error with router replacing transport. Is there something Im not
reading between the lines and getting? I am explictly putting in the lines
just after begin routers.

smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * kraken.cctechnol.com
host_find_failed = freeze
