Yes, and it looks like smtp look for an mx record of the smtpserver

exec /bin/upas/smtp -d -h crn.mteege.de 'net!$smtp' mtg mteege@gmail.com
expanding /net!$smtp
sending /net/dns '192.168.0.22 mx'
dns: dns: dns failure

There is no mx record for 192.168.0.22. If I use 'mteege.de', which
has a mx record (192.168.0.22), sending mail works.

I'm not sure if the behavior of upas/smtp is correct.
