A python-based mailserver would be really cool, but I don't know of
one.  Most mailservers let you pass mail to an external program,
though.  As I understand mailman (all I've done is configure it for use;
I haven't looked at the source much,) that's how it works.  You might
want to take a look at it.

Heh, if we restricted ourselves to new stuff, the volume in the
newsgroup would be decimated or worse, and then how would we
procrastinate?  But this is a new question, to me, at any rate.
