thanks.  yes i should have called it something else:  /n/rfc822
or /chan/postoffice.

it's sendmail -t funtionality that i want; reading the
destinations out of the headers.  this does work.  it has
nothing to do with smtp until the message gets sent via
smtp and i never envisioned an MTA dumping messages into
it, just the user agent.

russ told me that it would serve no purpose, but i
'counter attacked' :-) importing it off the firewall.
a free proxy; code running on the the firewall with
9P/styx gluing it to wherever it's needed.

how many plan 9 programmers does it take to change a
lightbulb?  none, you just import one from somewhere
else :-)

if i could concentrate at work, i'd probably code
it.  that, is the impossible part: 32 in a open plan
office, 32 phones, 32+ mobiles.  by the time i've
'survived' the day i'm just too knackered to do
anything but veg out on the sofa, with 'coma' [my
sony vaio 505].

yesterday's brilliant achievement was:

    chmod 775 dir

even better than the day of:

    mkdir d1
    mkdir d2

seriously, i get paid to do that.  18 years of unix,
15 years of IP -- wasted.
