I think there is a slight misunderstanding. The point of mentioned texts was
that once you have TCP/IP conectivity and a telnet client it is possible to
(manually) use it for sending emails etc. However, once you have that -
nothing stops you from writing specialized clients for those protocols.

Adam is wrong at one point - IP number of C64 is not hardcoded. It may be
given explicitly for SLIP/PPP or assigned by PPP server.
Oh, and there is popclient program in the latest LUnix release - a simple POP3
mail reader.
There is one more approach: 64net/2 server gives access not only to host PC
filesystem and disk images, but also has a network device. This code lies
there unfinished but for start I have written a mailer in BASIC.
Once wedge is loaded it is as simple as OPEN1,10,1,"3:/server/services/smtp,n"
and then using PRINT# and INPUT#,GET# to exchange data.
