I have a minimal RFC 821 smtp server built on top of
asyncore/asynchat, which I've used to experiment with and debug GNU
Mailman. It will probably make it into Python 2.1's standard library.
In the meantime, you can download it from
http://www.wooz.org/barry/software/pyware.html
It supports configurable backends via subclassing, but currently
doesn't do mailbox delivery.
Enjoy,
