Try Phil Karn's KA9Q software. This will run happily on top of Novell etc.
and gives you SMTP facilities, IP routing, an implementation of FTPD, etc.
Written mostly in C it is available in source or binary form, and it does
work (I hope it does - I'm using it here).

Mark Bramwell's View mailer software is a usefull addition if you are running
Novell. Again FOC, but written in Pascal, it gives a good mail front end/
distribution mechanism.

comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc normally has some reference to KA9Q if you want
to read before you try it.

I don't have the addresses for the above software to hand at the moment. If
you want to try KA9Q/View, mail me or post and I'll dig the stuff out and
post back.
