Subject: Need Info on SMTP

Is there a Public Domain version of SMTP ( both Client and Server ) 
available?

As you can tell by the headers on this message, we are using DEC's
ALL-IN-1 and Wollongong's WIN/VX. The interface between ALL-IN-1 and
WIN/VX is a local mod to an ALL-IN-1 script. All of the ALL-IN-1
mail features such as FORWARD, AUTOANSWER, READ RECEIPT, etc. are not
supported, or should I say, do not work. After some investigation,
we have decided that the best way to provide these services is to
write SMTP servers/clients that know about ALL-IN-1. 

Has any work been done in this area? 

Any knowledge/source for SMTP code would at least prevent us from having
to write SMTP code from scratch. 

Please reply to me directly. I will provide any responses to interested 
parties upon request.

Calvin, you might check with Los Alamos.  They have an All-in-one 
connection to unix mail which seems to work.
