Looks interested, without having the chance to give the docs a one over, does it do IMAP as well? Looks more focused on SMTP/sendmail.

- dougzor 15y agoAt it's core Lamson is just a really sweet wrapper around smtpd (http://docs.python.org/library/smtpd.html http://docs.python.org/library/smtpd.html) using asyncore for asynchronous socket IO. When a mail is received you can optionally process it and when done processing you can drop it on the floor (e.g. you're done with it) or you can send it to a 'relay' which means a IMAP or POP server (or really anything) if you so choose. I would generally say that yes, lamson is much more focused on receiving email via SMTP and doing [smart] processing on it.
- bryanh 15y agoI would imagine that its parsing functionality could be a boon to someone wanting to do something higher level with IMAP. Thanks for the response.
