Here, we have 2 games that are candidates for a play-by-mail system:
www.vgaplanets.com
and
www.crypticcomet.com
Vga Planets is free (or was when I last looked), but Solium Infernum isn't. You'll have to ask about that one.
There is, however, a demo that you can try - downloadable from the website above.
