MAC Email Services from Unix Systems

We're looking for a package (PD, Shareware or commercial is fine) that will
give us Email connectivity with Unix machines.

We have uShare loaded on a Sun workstation.  It comes with a Mail desk
accessory which, unfortunately, doesn't work at all (it gives System Bombs
and fails to write or delete messages).  This service DOES, however, permit
printer and file services, and those aspects appear to work properly.

We need email connectivity.  Ideally the package would interact with
the Unix system such that you could use Unix mailboxes, although I am
willing to settle for a daemon that reads the Unix mailbox and re-writes in
a Mac-style format somewhere else... or even something that is opened and
runs in the background receiving via SMTP (we have Multifinder on our
machines).

Help!  Commercial informaiton is fine, as are pointers to things or phone
calls (even from salesmen!).  We can FTP if needed as well.

This is a high priority item; any and all help appreciated.

Note that the reply address is NOT the same as where this message is being
posted from (I'm at home right now and prefer to receive replies at work).

Please email rather than post replies.

Thanks!
