Well I just switched over to my own hacked version of exim, and I have
to say that it (now) has almost everything I could want in a mailer.
If my adjustments were cleaner, I'd send them upstream.

You shouldn't be moving them to /var/spool/smail/ - you should be
moving them to /var/spool/smail/input/ - and I believe that
/etc/smail/crontab is installed as the crontab for the user mail
during the package install.
