There's a server called Quotient which does SMTP (among other things):
 
    http://www.divmod.org/Quotient/index.html

But as the README says:

    This release is aimed at developers and early adopters.  Feel free to
    give it a try, but don't use it as your primary email system - yet!

I haven't spent much time with it, but it looks interesting.  It's a bit
rough to get going, though -- the setup.py didn't quite install everything
it needed to, and the documentation is sparse.

Are you after a ready-made server, or an SMTP server library?  If the
latter, you might find Quotient and Twisted (the library Quotient is built
upon) to be a handy starting point.
