One is +a generic do-nothing implementation, which can be overridden, while +the other two offer specific mail-sending strategies. + + +\subsection{SMTPServer Objects} + +\begin{classdesc}{SMTPServer}{localaddr, remoteaddr} +Create a new \class{SMTPServer} object, which binds to local address +\var{localaddr}. It will treat \var{remoteaddr} as an upstream SMTP +relayer. It inherits from \class{asyncore.dispatcher}, and so will +insert itself into \refmodule{asyncore}'s event loop on instantiation. +\end{classdesc} + +\begin{methoddesc}[SMTPServer]{process_message}{peer, mailfrom, rcpttos, data} +Raise \exception{NotImplementedError} exception. Override this in +subclasses to do something useful with this message. Whatever was +passed in the constructor as \var{remoteaddr} will be available as the +\member{_remoteaddr} attribute. \var{peer} is the remote host's address, +\var{mailfrom} is the envelope originator, \var{rcpttos} are the +envelope recipients and \var{data} is a string containing the contents +of the e-mail (which should be in \rfc{2822} format). +\end{methoddesc} + + +\subsection{DebuggingServer Objects} + +\begin{classdesc}{DebuggingServer}{localaddr, remoteaddr} +Create a new debugging server. Arguments are as per +\class{SMTPServer}. Messages will be discarded, and printed on +stdout. +\end{classdesc} + + +\subsection{PureProxy Objects} + +\begin{classdesc}{PureProxy}{localaddr, remoteaddr} +Create a new pure proxy server. Arguments are as per \class{SMTPServer}. +Everything will be relayed to \var{remoteaddr}. Note that running +this has a good chance to make you into an open relay, so please be +careful. +\end{classdesc} + + +\subsection{MailmanProxy Objects} + +\begin{classdesc}{MailmanProxy}{localaddr, remoteaddr} +Create a new pure proxy server. Arguments are as per +\class{SMTPServer}. Everything will be relayed to \var{remoteaddr}, +unless local mailman configurations knows about an address, in which +case it will be handled via mailman. Note that running this has a +good chance to make you into an open relay, so please be careful. +\end{classdesc} |
