You have to define the appropriate director entry. The best you can do
is probably read smail(5) at least twice (until you understand it :-)
and then you should be able to do it...

(Sorry, I really don't like giving 'RTFM'-answers, but I read again
and again 'How do I configure smail', and since it is difficult to
explain in three lines the answers tend to get longish, but it is all
well documented...)
