I don't know whether it'll run on a 3B1, but something you might
look into (which is also Public Domain) is running a POP server.
There are several PD or freely distributable packages available
(for non-commercial use).  We currently have a POP3 server running
on an HP9000-840 (SysV variation known as HP-UX) and POP3 & POP2
servers running on a SUN 4/280 (SunOS 4).  The POP3 package is anonymous
FTPable and comes from "lilac.berkeley.edu".  It includes a Hypercard
Mac client (HyperMail) which allows a Mac (with an TCP/IP connection to 
a UNIX system (either with an ethernet card or via something like a
Kinetics box thru LocalTalk), MacTCP (from Apple), and at least 2Mb of
memory) to get and send e-mail transparently via the UNIX server.
Whether the server software will work on a 7300, I don't really know
(although it would probably be possible to port).
