Synchronet can be configured to create SMTP email addresses for users. Any 
of my users have a @realitycheckbbs.org email address, and you're asked if 
you want local mail forwarded to an external email address.

You can also use NNTP or IMAP to read echomail, but IMAP is a little rough 
around the edges, from what I understand, and subscribing to echomail areas 
as IMAP folders makes the BBS grind.

I don't think anyone would offer an SMTP server for users to access, 
however. Was that your question?
