According to jik at athena.mit.edu (Jonathan I. Kamens):

Smail 3.1 is _a_ GNU mailer, if not _the_ GNU mailer.

Smail 3.2 is in the works (slowly).  It is primarily a rework of the
existing functionality, with changes to deal better with high-volume
variable-reliability SMTP traffic.

Unfortunately, the persons assigned to work on it have been very busy.
The situation has improved recently; but I suspect that Smail 3.1 will
be state-of-the-art for some time.
