  I am also interested what is available in this area. Specificly mail 
servers for 386 UNIX's that work with sendmail/smail. Actually I have
one already, a modified version of Micheal DeCorte ftp version to work
with smail 3.1 or sendmail. It makes use of the file areas of an XBBS 
bulletin board I run.  It is capable of detecting if the file is binary
or text and uuencode if it's binary. It is written in shell script with
one small C file.  
 
You can get a copy by send mail to:

archive-server@fiver
Subject: hi there
send unix_bbs bpms1.tar.Z

------
 Or you can get a copy by downloading directly from the bbs. Data lines   
should be in the .sig.
