From smail's defs.h file, discussing MAXCLEN...

/*
** Normally, all mail destined for the local host is delivered with a single
** call to the local mailer, and all remote mail is delivered with one call
** to the remote mailer for each remote host.  This kind of 'batching' saves
** on the cpu overhead.
**
** MAXCLEN is used to limit the length of commands that are exec'd by smail.
** This is done to keep other program's buffers from overflowing, or to
** allow for less intelligent commands which can take only one argument
** at a time (e.g., 4.1 /bin/mail).  To disable the batching, set MAXCLEN
** a small value (like 0).
*/

So just turn off batching with a 0.
