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

It's not a language issue, because you can/will use whatever you are
comfortable with.  It's more of man-hour, ie. read RFC, write code,
test, read RFC, write code, test, ... ad infinitum.  For SMTP/POP3, it's
been done.  For learning, manually typing on Telnet, then writing Shell
script will be more educational.
