Judging from the overly enthusiastic response, no one knew the answer. I just figured out the solution so I'm posting it for the benefit of those who actually go through the mailing list archives searching for answers (like I do). The solution was to edit the /etc/smail/routers file and add widen_domains=stanford.edu under the inet_hosts heading. I don't know why the qualify file didn't do the trick. Max
