You said you hae Debian 1.3, so yes, the smail package is too old for
that.
You can recompile smail. Get the new sources from the current Debian
stable tree (dists/stable/main/source), that is all three packages
(.diff.gz. .dsc .tar.gz - use a ftp programm, Netscape will decompress
them).
Then run
dpkg-source -x smail*.dsc
cd into the created smail directory
fakeroot debian/rules binary
