If you determine that it is smail, and your smail setup is sending all 
of your mail through a smarthost, then you can try entering a numeric
IP address for the name of the machine through which you send all your 
mail.  That is, if you have something like:
smart_host:
        driver=smarthost, transport=smtprewriter;
        path=whatever.myisp.com

In your /etc/smail/routers file, then you can replace it with
something like:
smart_host:
        driver=smarthost, transport=smtprewriter;
        path=123.213.32.21

Where instead of "123.213.32.21" you should use the IP address of your 
ISP's smtp host.  This has the slight disadvantage that it needs to be 
changed if your ISP moves things around.

(I haven't tried this myself, but see no reason why it shouldn't work)
