Nothing. The problem is smail.
You *have* to reconfigure smail with smailconfig --force, and even then you
could run into problems. The simple way is to downgrade to the version in

Please folks: Don't upgrade to the smail in hamm unless you know what you
are doing or want to participate in testing.
Thank you,

both in smailconfig.
