I have more questions now... that I think about it.  I gave you a free Binkley Term & SexPOTS way of passing a user in a dial up situation... If you're just wanting to pass mail around over the net... Here U go... free as well...

Your callers call in via telnet port 23, or what ever port you want... and your mailer is listens on a different port and only accepts mail, like port 5555, or whatever.  You can use NetSerial and Binkley to do that.

For example, and I haven't fully worked out the glitches, I have a 12 Node version of WINSerer.  With the use of NetSerial node number 1 is a dedicated mailer server/node  that listens on a non-public port number.  Where as nodes 2-12 are listening on a port that I have made public.  I use WINServer, NetSerial & Platinum Express to accomplish this.

You could run WINServer for your BBS callers and Binkley term and NetSerial as a dedicated mail system that listens on it's own port just to deal with mail only...

There U go...
