Quite a lot depends on how you want to moderate it...

I run pbmserv@gamerz.net, and it is almost completely automated.  But
only works for "simple" games whose moves can be expressed in one or
two tokens.  (Chess, Backgammon, Othello, etc.)

Source is available from

ftp://ftp.gamerz.net/pub/pbmserv/

The basic precept of pbmserv is that a full "move" can be contained
in the SUBJECT line of a message.  Anything in the BODY is a comment
for your opponents.

Richard
