It depends on what version of Smail you are running.  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!)
