No Victor, I haven't left that out, I simply don't have it in the smtp(8)
manual page:

$ cat /etc/SuSE-release 
openSUSE 11.0 (i586)
VERSION = 11.0
$ rpm -qf $(man -w 8 smtp)
postfix-2.5.1-28.1
$ postconf mail_version
mail_version = 2.5.1
$ postconf mail_release_date
mail_release_date = 20080216

and Novell isn't patching documentation in said RPM - I downloaded the
.src.rpm and checked - the contained 2.5.1 tarball verifies with
Wietse's official .sig GnuPG checksum, and smtp.c, .8 and .8.html also
match what I quoted (left in).

Conclusion: documentation doesn't match implementation. Reason unknown.
I suggest to fix the former in the current situation.

Best regards,
