[New-bugs-announce] [issue35799] fix or remove smtpd.PureProxy

[Samuel Colvin]

New submission from Samuel Colvin <samcolvin at gmail.com>:

smtpd.PureProxy.process_message is defined to not receive the extra kwargs which it is called with.

It also expects "data" to be str when it's actually bytes.

PureProxy should either be removed for fixed. 

Personally, I think it should be fixed as the fix is pretty simple and PureProxy can be very useful.

Created from https://bugs.python.org/issue35788

Happy to create a PR if this is agreed.
