Has anyone created a simple POP3 and SMTP server using TWISTED?

<OT>If you're going Unix, I'd recommend neither fetchmail nor
sendmail. For SMTP, I'd recommend Postfix (or qmail, or Exim). As a
fetchmail replacement, getmail.

These are reportedly all more stable and secure than the software you
proposed.
