In the defs.h file for smail2.5, make sure that you uncomment the #define for
smart-host.

I assume you have a u.Local, or some such file, that you throw in ahead of all
the other map files when you run pathalias. It should have a line like this:

smart-host = princeton

Seems to be all I needed to do here.
