  I did a BSD sendmail implementation awhile ago. It doesn't do SMTP,
but it does feature a sendmail.cf for address manipulation and
figuring out where to deliver to. No deamon or queue yet. The dividing
up of the To: and CC: headers was not perfect, I never did get a
chance to check out the Berkeley routines to do that.
  (This wasn't a port)
  The code was written as recusive functions, and had a tendancy to
blow its stack -- it needs to be rewritten to keep its own malloc()'ed
state stack. It was quite fast, btw.
