The file doesn't exist in courier unless you create it. �Normally courier uses 
DNS to figure out where to send messages. �(A server that takes all your mail 
is called a "smart host".) �Look in the courier man page and search for 
"esmtproutes" for other fun things you can do with this file. �

To test it send a message through courier and then check out the mail log. �
You should see a line that says it was delivered to the host you put in that 
file. �So you'll see something like this when you send a message:

Apr �2 21:03:35 superman courieresmtp:
id=000D3422.406DD51A.00002D06,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,
addr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>,size=1503,success: delivered:
mail.domain.com [aa.bb.cc.dd]

If you didn't have this smart host in the esmtproutes file then it would say 
that this was delivered to whatever the mailserver is for  
lists.sourceforge.net
