This stuff is old

These scripts are very old and have been superseded by newer versions of the Python standard library. See http://docs.python.org/library/smtpd.html

Simple SMTP Server tools for Python

The script smtps.py implements a simple extensible SMTP server. This makes it easy to develop specialized SMTP Servers for testing etc. It is usable as a test server as it is, or you may specialize it by subclassing in your own scripts.

The script pyspy.py is an example smtps.py application. This implements a simple SMTP Proxy with DNS lookup. This is useful for systems that don't have sendmail running. I use it to proxy between a Linux box and a bespoke Internet connection from a well known American On Line company.

See the embedded documentation for more details.
