I just went through hell on a similar set of symptoms, though I don't
remember being told that no route could be found.  In my case, the messages
just sat in the queue "IN PROGRESS", because the MX_SMTP process had
always died unceremoniously as soon as it was started.

(To verify that this is part of your problem, type $ MCP STATUS.
You should see both MX_SMTP and MX_SMTP_SERVER if all is well.)

The root cause was my stupidity.  In the INTERNET.CONFIG template, notice
that in the line:
   $! Define/System/Exec/NoLog INTERNET_HOST_NAME "host.your.domain"
you not only have to edit the right of the line, you also have to remove
the "!" at the left of the line.

(Similarly, the CMUTEK_ROOT and CMUTEK_SRC logicals must be uncommented,
though this I had found, earlier.)

Henry Miller, please take note:  a comment line instruction on removing the
"!" in these lines may save others similar grief.
