(As will sendmail, albeit nowhere near as easily). I use a shell script to do remote delivery with smail2.5. If a mail is outbound, a nifty regexp reduces "user@bla.my.domain" to "user@my.domain". Smail itself runs in gateway mode. (I also use a private program to do local delivery, including handling mail to pipes and files, and sending a mseeage to the user's terminal, but that's another story...)
