- As far as routing and delivery goes I think so. I'm not sure if it's
- quite a match for rewriting headers like IDA's generic-from rewrites.
- Smail release 3.1.28 adds support for somewhat arbitrary header-munging
- with contional string manipulation and database lookups but I don't know
- if it handles everything IDA can do. The configuration files are
- certainly easier to read, though.
