What I'd really like to do is use sendmail on this slackware box, and just talk to it. I looked at smtpd, and it's something I could work on... but it seems like more work that needs to be done? I also would want to integrate it into the BBS program, and I don't think I can use ports < 1024 on linux without some sort of special magic (or running as root)... Hmmm.

Are you talking about an SMTP server? Try looking at the code for http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/smtpd/ (but it looks unfinished) -- matt
