Yes, since a few weeks there are experimental servers operating in the US,
which are awaiting testing by users!!

Yes, that is the basic concept of pskmail. Use HF to reach the nearest (not in 
geographical sense) server
coupled to the internet. The idea is that there will be a working internet 
somewhere within reach via an
HF path. (we have tested up to 3000 km (Lybia <> Holland)).

If there is enough interest that will be done. One could e.g. put all mail 
undeliverable to the internet into a simple mbox, interfacing to an existing 
forwarding system.

The pskmail server has POP, SMTP and HTTP agents built in, and can work with 
any (most) ISP's, even GMAIL.
But of course the mail server can also sit on a LAN or on the pskmail server 
itself, provided it delivers the standard 
POP, SMTP and HTTP services.

What is not included is forwarding from mailbox to mailbox, but see (3.).

It helps if you read the wiki (http://pskmail.wikispaces.com).
