[Python] SMTP server based on Python?

[Peter Smith [gjfc]]

People,

I have sendmail working on my linux box.

Since I can use sendmail to send e-mails, would it be easy to write a
simple Python class which listens for data on port 25?

Then, if it gets some data, it just passes it to sendmail.

Do any of you know if such a simple script is floating around somewhere
on the net?

Ummm, I'm rather confused as to why you don't just have sendmail do this.
After all, that is its primary function: to run as a daemon, listening on
port 25, and delivering incoming messages to local mailboxes.
