Well, there could have been hosts listed in /etc/hosts.

Try renaming it No, I apologize. I was just joking around. You are quite correct, removing the routers file solved the problem. Now, I think we need to figure out what could have caused the problem within the routers files. Smail claims it matchs inet_hosts for routing, do you think that the "default" configuration for inet_hosts within smail works properly? Jim
