I don't really think it's clear code, but someone claimed to have written a POP3
and SMTP server. Copy of code available here
www.webspace4me.net/~mjohnson/Groupserver_source_VB6.zip for the next *3* days
only.

Original source was
http://www.cs2themax.com/forums/display_topic_threads.asp?ForumID=30&TopicID=2425&PagePosition=1
http://half-eaten.scieron.com/groupserver/index.html, and since publicly posted
was probably intended for public domain.

Scanning it briefly, it isn't the clearest code in my judgement, but it just
might be something to get you started.

Hope this helps.
