Code:
mob/verb
            smile(M as mob|null)
                if(!M) //no target mob specified
                    usr << "You smile."
                    oview() << "[usr] smiles."
                else
                    usr << "You smile at [M]."
                    M << "[usr] smiles at you."
                    oview() - M << "[usr] smiles at [M]."

I think this would work:
smile(mob/m as mob|null in world.contents - usr)

world.contents is a built-in list of everything in the world. Filter it by mobs and subtract usr and you should get a good list of non-usr mobs. I don't know if it would actually work though, because of the use of usr in the arguments.

There is no need to create a list, but i guess what ever gets the job done ? Kaiochao #2 is the way i would do it
