No. The main stack contains sewer gas, possibly explosive. Exhaust
the bath fan directly to the outside (not in a crawl space, not in an

Why not the attic if it's vented?


The exhaust fan in a bathroom is used to vent the moisture from a shower
also, not just the smell, so you'd be throwing vapors into an enclosed space
where it could turn into mold and mildew creating other issues. Stick with
Phish's idea of direct-to-outside venting.
