So is sendmail.  You just need to be one of those alien types who can
read & write sendmail.cf.

smail 3.0 (not to be confused with smail 2.5 which is sometimes called
smail 3) is not available yet.  It's not clear when it will be in beta
test, much less general release.  In the meantime, sendmail works now
if you need to pipe mail to programs or other things smail 2.5 won't
do.
