The closest I know of are some efforts (by our company among others) that
allow a Mac to be a parasite of a UNIX mail host.  In short, you get
real live Internet mail on you Mac, but it depends on a smart host (usually
running sendmail or MMDF) to actually do the routing.  Mail retrieval
is usually done with POP, since doing SMTP all the way to a Mac has some
problems (Macs tend to be turned off a lot more than your average mail
hub, for example :-)).

If one were to do a full internet mail package on a Mac, one would probably
pick something a little easier to configure than sendmail, too... :-).
