I'm toying with the idea of coding an OS/2 specific version
of sendmail(). (rfc 821 / 822 headers). I'm opting to
write it from scratch in order to take advantage of some
OS/2's features. Such as multi threaded, and dynamic
loading libraries. (other reasons also include the some unix
functions which don't work well on OS/2. Like fork() ).
However, before I can seriously undertake this project, I'd
like someone to 'sponsor' me.
I need a local host which I can send and receive smtp mail
to, via modem. (I don't want to do all this work just to
send mail around on my local area network). I'm located in
the seattle/redmond area. (area code: 206). If you could
help me out, please send email, or call (206) 867-3078.
Also, I would appreciate any related information. (and/or
viewpoints).

(other reasons also include the some unix - functions which don't work well on OS/2. Like fork() ). You would probably do better basing your work on 'smail'. This wonderful program seems to work on every unix system ever sold. Smail is a contribution(?) of the network mapping project. You can pick up a copy of smail source from almost any archive site. I understand that smail 3.0 is intended to be a replacement for sendmail. Release 3.0 is presently in either alpha or beta test. -- Ed Clarke uunet!bywater!acheron!clarke
