So you think it might be easier to write your own mail server from
scratch in Python than to set up existing mailserver software to be
reliable?  I think you might be wrong, but I haven't done what you're
proposing to do.

If I were, though, I'd probably use qmail or Postfix, probably
Postfix, and I'd probably run my mail generator on the mail server
instead of talking to it over SMTP.  I bet I could get it running in
an afternoon if I had physical access to the right hardware or remote
access to a machine with Debian 2.2 installed.
