No it does not. We are planning to add this feature, but it will probably not be available until the 4Q of this year.

I don't know that "smart forwarding" is an official term or anything like that. Basically, what the poster is referring to is that when a device receives an MMS notification message, one of the options that is available with more recent MMS specifications is that the device can send a forward request to the MMSC, asking the MMSC to forward the message to another address ... without requiring that the device actually download the MMS.
