Probably the cleanest way to do this would be to use the existing uucp
protocols for file transfer and mail (almost every unix machine
has uucp). I posted uupc for the mac (LSC4.0 version with upgrades for
a working email interface (line oriented - sorry) aliases, timeout 
variable in systems (L.sys) sequences and more), to comp.binaries.mac about
4 weeks ago and have not heard if it has even been received by the moderator.

A worthwhile project for some enthusiast out there would be to modify
some existing nice mailer to produce uucp spool files for uupc
to send - any takers - what a superb university project (hint hint).
