I configured mailfs so now I can read email, thanks.
But writing mail is not going so well:

$ cat $PLAN9/log/smtp.fail
myhost Mar 23 11:21:44 bad network /net/net!my.smtp.server!smtp (my.smtp.server)
myhost Mar 23 11:28:06 bad network /net/net!my.smtp.server!smtp (my.smtp.server)
myhost Mar 23 11:34:20 bad network /net/net!my.smtp.server!smtp (my.smtp.server)

after using marshal to send messages. The file
$PLAN9/mail/queue/hugo/E.XXXXXX contains a very similar error

smtp: bad network /net/net!my.smtp.server!smtp (my.smtp.server)

I've been playing around with files inside $PLAN9/mail/lib but no
success so far. Any tips are welcome! :-)
