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.
