I'm setting up mail (through gmail) on my machine.  I'm
following the wiki directions.  I was able to get upas
to check mail from the remote pop fine.  Now I'm trying
to get outgoing smtp working.

The first thing I noticed was that the instructions in
the wiki seem to be wrong here:

   Try to send email to the server:

   ;upas/send -d -a -h mymachine.dom net!smtp.myserver.dom
       account-on-server dest-user@sest-system.dom

running this command gives a usage error and the flags dont
line up at all.  Is this the wrong command name?  Or have
the flags changed?

Second I'm getting some errors when I try to send out.
I'm using the rewrite-gateway setup and edited fd= in
remotemail.  When I send mail out /sys/log/smtp.fail
says dns: dns failure (net!$smtp).  I do have an
smtp=... line in my /lib/ndb/local for my ipnet.
ip/ipquery ip <myip> smtp displays the line properly and
con -l 'net!$smtp!smtp' connects to the remote properly.
Why am I getting this error?
