Smail2.5 has that feature, whereas Smail3.1.X doesn't seem to... then again, Smail3.1.X has it's own version of sendmail... you'll have to look at the code/docs which is available on UUNET: /usr/spool/ftp/mail/smail3.1.21.tar.Z (be careful though, the latest version seems to have installation and compiling bugs!)

Just remember to process it with mkaliases if you are using bsearch or dbm searches in the alias lookup. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us
