Postfix and UUCP are still installed by default in current versions of
MacOS, presumably because they're needed for Unix certification. The
NNCPNet tools are written in Rust and don't use any Linux-specific
crates that I can see, so building NNCP and NNCPNet from source with all
binaries dropped in /usr/local/bin/ should allow you to turn a Mac into
an NNCPNet peer. Macs don't run Postfix in an SMTP mode by default, so
you'll either need to change that part of the Postfix configuration or
use a mail client that speaks sendmail.

Hi Jonathan,
Yep, the nncpnet tools should be portable to POSIX platforms.
nncpnet-mailnode is written around Exim, but I would imagine that could
run on MacOS X as well. Or the container could just run in Docker
there.
