Martin,
There is a public-domain implementation of POP (post office protocol)
as part of the Rand Message Handling system. POP is a distributed mail protocol
designed to allow a larger host to collect and distribute mail for micros,
which can contact the host when they like to check their mailbox or drop
off new mail to be posted. A mail user need not have a login account on
the POP service host; he only need be known to the POP daemon. MH 6.6 is
available via anonymous FTP from louie.udel.edu in the directory "portal".
Stanford university has a Mac POP client application (called MacMH) to go
along with it, but that is not available without a license from them (at
a nominal fee for educational institutions). I believe you can send e-mail
to networking@jessica.stanford.edu, or U.S. mail to Networking Systems at
Stanford.
