AKCS will do just what you are looking for plus a whole lot more.

The last time I looked at XBBS, it would only allow the spawning of
external news software - and one would have to set up an account for 
your users to access the mailer - which would leave the system open
for security problems.   AKCS takes a cleaner approach with the mail
front end built into the main package.
