Ok.  Here's the plan.

I have this here BBS.  It knows how to speak fidonet and qwk/rep net,
but I would also like the users on it to be able to send and receive
smtp mail, and I would like to be able to use it as a listserv... so
that you could have a message area that exported new messages to folks
email accounts and imported incoming emails to the message area.

So, say general messages would be general / bbs.retrobbs.org and such.

I've been thinking I could use the Sendmail built into slackware.  I
think I can configure it to accept any incoming email and put it in
/usr/spool/mail ?  I don't really know much about it...

Take Care,

Mark
