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

  Twisted.Mail (one of the "dot" products) should be able to handle this.  I
currently use it to server POP3 (and POP3/ssl), but not to handle incoming
SMTP (only because I already had postfix configured when I decided to start
using it).  The POP3 code is in good shape, but I can't speak to the SMTP
portions.  If they need work, it is probably only minor :)

  Setup is easy, just play around with 'mktap mail'.  Feel free to mail me
off-list (or the Twisted list) if you want any more specific pointers.
