Have you investigated smail 3.1 (a very different thing than smail 2.5)?
My impression (without much exposure to sendmail) is that it is more
powerful than standard sendmail, especially in a uucp environment, but
perhaps less flexible than sendmail + IDA.  I'd like to see a real
point by point comparison, though, if anyone has had the fortitude
to tackle both in depth.
