smail 3.1 propagates the use of rsmtp as the uux command -- instead of
"uux <bsmtp-data - next-site!rmail b-smtp", you'd do
"uux <bsmtp-data - next-site!rsmtp".
This avoids possible problems with the single dot ending the mail prematurely
(there may be more than one message in a bsmtp-data file), which some
implementations circumvent by prefixing every line in the data file with an M
or some such.
Also, piping the stuff through compress and executing rcsmtp (or crsmtp -- any
ideas which one is going to be standard?) would work.

It is rcsmtp in the sources, though I did just notice that the cbsmtp.sh script incorrectly calls rsmtp, rather than rcsmtp.
