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.
