I'm running SMail 3.1.28 on Linux also, and I have encountered two
very minor quirks.  The first is that multi-line aliases (such as when 
using "resend") need backslash continuation lines like this:

  Imagen-L: "|/usr/local/mail/majordomo/wrapper resend -M 100000 \
	-l Imagen-L -f Owner-Imagen-L -h Bolis.SF-Bay.org -s -R \
	Imagen-L-outgoing"

The other quirk I found is that mixing addresses with angle brackets <>
and without in an aliase file sometimes has problems.  The easy fix is
to either turn on the .strip option for the list, or add a comma at the
end of each address line.
