Isn't the 'API' in 'MAPI' actually for once an apt description of this
Microsoft technology? That is, MAPI is a set of library function calls
rather than a protocol... correct me if I'm wrong, however!

Getting into MSRPC might be rather difficult, and I would hope to avoid
such a beast. If that really is the way, though, there is skeleton code
in both Samba and Samba-TNG that can be leveraged to provide a framework,
then simply hang support for the appropriate MSRPC calls off of it.
