Thanks a lot.

I will make a new upload to unstable in a few days. The only problem
is: As soon as smail in unstable is compiled with a library not in potato
(e.g. a new version of libc6), it's more or less useless for users that
don't want to upgrade to unstable. That's why I'll offer the packages at
that URL, too. At the beginning there will be the same packages at that
URL and in unstable, but this may change later.
