The option is available under the version in hamm, 3.2.0.101-4. I recently found out that a number of bo systems I am maintaining was being used as relay for spam, so I set out to upgrade smail. I got the hamm source package and compiled a .deb package for bo. It took a little tweaking I think (some library that was in libc5, and is now separate from libc6, or the other way around, I don't recall exactly). Also I am not quite sure the version number in the debian package I made is ok according to correct debian policy. And the package mentions Soenke Lange as maintainer although he did not compile this particular version. And there is a bug in the postinst script which entails that you manually need to fix the inetd.conf file (about which several bug reports have been filed already). This all being said, I do have this .deb package that works for me on bo systems, and am willing to send it to anyone by email or to upload it to some place so that more people can benefit from it.
