Glad to hear your good news...:)  I'll be replying to your other mail

I really really REALLY want to recompile this, but can't find the darn
sources that this was compiled from.  Every source package I can find
(Debian, upstream, etc) absolutely will not compile at all for me, so I
haven't been able to repackage this.

It's on the primary site ftp.debian.org.  I'm surprised it hasn't made it
to funet.fi yet since we put it up over a week ago.

Yes and no.  I originally packaged smail which was still not converted to
the new package format (and thus, still had hard-coded dependencies).  I'm
planning on recompiling it within days and should have it available at
least at my site within the week.
