I have been attempting to do this port with assistance from Neil Rickert,
Paul Pomes and Mark Baushke, but with only limited success.  Has anyone
already done this?  If not, perhaps someone has some insight into the
following problem which has stymied the four of us.

I can get it to compile and link with only a few warnings about int/pointer
combinations.  It works fine for resolving all sorts of addresses in test
mode.  It can even send local mail to users on the host.  In daemon mode
it can deliver incoming mail, although it attempts to send a failure message
back to the originator.  However, attempts to send a message via SMTP
fail during the fprintf() call in smtpmessage() while sending the intial HELO
message.  I get a bus error -- core dump.  Using the debugger shows the failure
is occuring in an internal floating point routine, e_mant2().

We suspect something is munging the values in the FILE structs *SmtpOut, 
*SmtpIn, **outfile and **infile, but have been unable to track it down.

Hopefully someone out there on the net has seen this behavior and can provide
a fix.

The OS is AT&T SysVR3.2.2 w/ WIN/TCP 3.0 (4.2BSD socket compatibility library).

Thanks for any suggestions,
