Erm yes: I wrote that bit :-)

You have to add a CRL to either the file mentioned with the -CAfile option or
the directory for -CApath (don't forget c_rehash).

Yes it is only used when a certificate is verified. This effectively means
S/MIME signature verification only.

The signers certificate(s) or all certificates in a chain if crl_check_all is
present.

Well that isn't a standard OpenSSL error. Are you using the standard 'smime'
command or something else?

My knowledge of other languages is somewhat limited but does that translate as
"CRL was not found"? If so then the current CRL probably isn't in the relevant
place.
