I think a p-d SMTP for PCIP exists, look on venera.isi.edu.  I know nothing
about it, other than that some people at ISI did it, and posted that it was
available.

SMTP is less useful under DOS than store-and-forward mail protocols like
POP or Mark Lambert's PCMAIL.  I think you can get a PCMAIL version for
PCIP from allspice.lcs.mit.edu, and this would be worth looking into (we
have about a dozen people in-house using it).
