Services in Python

[Ricardo M. Reyes]

Hi:

I'm considering using Python to write a little smtp server, to do some
automated processing of emails in my office, and I need to know if
it's possible to make a server in Python that runs permanently under NT
server, even when there's no user logged in, like if it was a service.
I don't mind if it's not exactly an NT service, I just need that
particular characteristic.

Do you think it's possible? If it is, then I'll get greedy and ask for
something else: when there IS a user logged in, I'd like the program
to be invisible, with no icon in the task bar. Again, you think this
is possible?

I'm running NT Server 4, and may be able to use a Win2k if it's
necessary.
