Exactly the reason why I like it.

I don't use smail, so I can't comment there, but with sendmail you can
choose the type of uucp addressing to use. I use Taylor's uucp which
is smart enough to understand domain based addressing so on my mail
machine I specify the uucp-dom mailer and my Internet provider does the
same.
Hope this helps.
