intercepting smtp email

[Rudy Schockaert]

Woldn't this require something like winpcap? I know some folks have 
attempted to call winpcap from within Python, but I don't know if they 
succeeded. If my memory serves well, it was Gerhard Häring who did 
something with it.

I would also be interested in something similar, but then for MSN 
traffic. Decoding the MSN Messenger stream is not the problem, capturing 
the traffic from a promiscous nic in Python is where I get stuck.
