The smtp= should point to a FQDN rather than an IP address to allow upas/smtp to look up the MX and then A RRs. I get this: exec /bin/upas/smtp -d -g 'net!$smtp' -h quintile.net 'net!$smtp' steve steve.simon@mywork.com expanding /net!$smtp sending /net/dns 'smtp.myisp.com mx' dns: dns: resource does not exist mxdial trying /net/net!smtp.myisp.com!smtp 220 ESMTP server ready -Steve
