VistA's Kernel includes MailMan which can do SMTP's protocols. from the VistA Monograph (caution with the wrap), http://www.va.gov/vdl/monograph/vista_monograph2005-06.htm#_Toc86287787
"MailMan is an electronic messaging system that transmits messages, computer programs, data dictionaries, and data between users and applications located at the same or at different facilities. Network MailMan disseminates information across any communications medium. "When MailMan is integrated into an application, it notifies individuals and groups about important events. From VA FileMan, a change in the value of a field can trigger a message called a bulletin. MailMan is easy for the user to learn and to use and provides extensive online help. There is also an extensive set of MailMan Application Programmer Interfaces (API) for the developer."
