+Enabling this will have OpenSSL check the signers certificate

+
+For this to work the CRL must be up-to-date and since they are
+normally updated quite often (ie. several times a day) you
+probably need some tool to keep them up-to-date. Unfortunately
+Gnus cannot do this for you.
+
+The CRL should either be appended (in PEM format) to your
+`smime-CA-file' or be located in a file (also in PEM format) in
+your `smime-certificate-directory' named to the X.509 hash of the
+certificate with .r0 as file name extension.
+
+At least OpenSSL version 0.9.7 is required for this to work."
