SMTPServer Objects

Create a new :class:`SMTPServer` object, which binds to local address localaddr. It will treat remoteaddr as an upstream SMTP relayer. It inherits from :class:`asyncore.dispatcher`, and so will insert itself into :mod:`asyncore`'s event loop on instantiation.

.. method:: process_message(peer, mailfrom, rcpttos, data)

   Raise :exc:`NotImplementedError` exception. Override this in subclasses to
   do something useful with this message. Whatever was passed in the
   constructor as *remoteaddr* will be available as the :attr:`_remoteaddr`
   attribute. *peer* is the remote host's address, *mailfrom* is the envelope
   originator, *rcpttos* are the envelope recipients and *data* is a string
   containing the contents of the e-mail (which should be in :rfc:`2822`
   format).

DebuggingServer Objects

Create a new debugging server. Arguments are as per :class:`SMTPServer`. Messages will be discarded, and printed on stdout.

PureProxy Objects

Create a new pure proxy server. Arguments are as per :class:`SMTPServer`. Everything will be relayed to remoteaddr. Note that running this has a good chance to make you into an open relay, so please be careful.

MailmanProxy Objects

Create a new pure proxy server. Arguments are as per :class:`SMTPServer`. Everything will be relayed to remoteaddr, unless local mailman configurations knows about an address, in which case it will be handled via mailman. Note that running this has a good chance to make you into an open relay, so please be careful.
