library to build a custom SMTP server

Project description

pymta is a library to build a custom SMTP server in Python. This is useful if you want to…

  • test mail-sending code against a real SMTP server even in your unit tests.

  • build a custom SMTP server with non-standard behavior without reimplementing the whole SMTP protocol.

  • have a low-volume SMTP server which can be easily extended using Python

Changelog

0.3.1 (27.02.2009)

  • Fixed bug which caused hang after unexpected connection drop by client

0.3 (15.02.2009)

  • Switch to process-based architecture, got rid of asyncore

  • Support for size-limitations of messages, huge messages will not be stored in memory if they will be rejected anyway (denial of service prevention)

  • API documentation is now auto-generated

  • Renamed DefaultMTAPolicy to IMTAPolicy and moved all interfaces to pymta.api

  • Added the debugging_server as an extremely simple example of a pymta-based server
