Well, my thinking would be that Max will get an extra option, say, QWK and 
BinkD/P for mail exchange.

When BinkD/P is chosen as the protocol to be used, the mail packet, whatever 
format the user has chosen, would be created, and moved to a directory (BinkD 
mailbox) where it can be fetched, got using a BinkD client or FTP client for 
that matter, provided that the correct user names/passwords are given, as 
configured in the user section of Max.

Could work. :-))
