I think smail is great, we have had great success with it. Of course,
I did spend two days studying the docs before installing it with
trepidation, and for those who just want to type 'make' and be done
with it I have no sympathy- the docs are great and with a little common
sense and some local configuration editing it might improve your mailer
situation instead of causing problems.
The questions of domains and paths is really something outside of smail,
if the maps are out of date, that's their problem, not a problem with
smail. And explicitly specified ! paths go through unmodified in case
you don't trust the maps. We are still sticking with .UUCP as domain for
outgoing mail for now, because I know that .Villanova.EDU as a return
path would be equivalent to /dev/null, but we can accept incoming mail
of that format.
