Ask on comp.lang.python, has anyone implemented SMTP or POP servers
in Python? Who's obtuse here?

Oh, right. Sendmail wouldn't work for sure, and it's a terrible
choice for a 3 person site anyway. Don't know about the other two,
but I'd guess very strong odds of some platform incompatibility that
would be the end for someone who only knows Python. A simplistic
SMTP and POP3 implementation isn't a huge undertaking, might be a
fun project.
