Not sure exactly what this would require, but I am fairly certain
changes to Waffle would be reasonable in nature. I suspect it will
involve configuring Waffle's local delivery mechanism. Currently
this is not possible for users, but Waf/1.63 is going to be
significantly easier to deal with something like this.

I would not recommend porting smail3 to DOS. The sources are
huge, and an order of magnitude more Unix specific than smail2.5. 
There is someone who has smail2.5/PC almost working with Waffle, 
but I'm not sure if that person wants his name given out at this
time. This probably won't be as useful in a bit, since many of
smail's features will be "standard equipment" in v1.63.
