This should only be neccessary if the mailreader does a broken HELO. Pine is one of these and if you had to do this as well, then XFMail is another one. > Other thing is that it seems to do a DNS lookup on every from address, > and since my from contains [EMAIL PROTECTED], this can't be done when > I'm offline.

In /etc/smail/config there should also be the lines: -smtp_hello_verify -smtp_hello_verify_literal With these you disable the hostname verification. I just had one problem with the upgrade: I told dpkg to leave my /etc/aliases alone (and it did). Then post.inst called smailconfig and I went through it. But smailconfig wiped my aliases file (!). I con confirm this for 3 installations of the package on 2 different machines, so be carefull. I already filed a bug report about this. After this experience I added a cronjob to backup my aliases like this is already done for /etc/passwd and /etc/group (added this as a wish to the bugreport as well).
