It's probably still viable; but much of the functionality of the
toolkit has been supplanted by larger more popular and complex
applications. For example, for a good mail proxy consider postfix,
for a good web proxy consider squid, etc. Just make sure you configure
them with maximum care. Smap/smapd were not written to be particularly
efficient (compared to, say, postfix) and may bog down a high volume
gateway.

I use postfix these days. ;)
