No, AB20 does not have a mail server.  You used to be able to get it via BITFTP
@PUCC, but I believe that it has problems for sites across the pond.

You can get files via mail from MRCserv@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA.  This node is
based in Alberta, Canada and is kept fairly up-to-date with files from AB20. 
We don't get all the demos, animations or sound modules (limited disk space),
but overall I don't think we're doing all that badly.  Files are sent uuencoded
(the sources for uuencode/uudecode are also available on the server for VMS,
Unix, and Amiga) and are split into multiple parts if required.
