SMTP receive as well as send

[Emile van Sebille]

Benny,

What are you trying to do?  On linux, you can simply run the
SMTP service to receive mail.  Do you want a python based
service that does the same thing?  Or are you trying to set
up receive capabilities on a dial-up connection?  If so,
look into one of the dynamic IP services.  I've used TZO,
which you pay for, but there are free ones as well.

HTH, but I'm not quite sure what you're looking for.
