net::smtp::server implementation anyone?

daveola has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Has anyone ever written an SMTP server that uses net::smtp::server?

I'd love a simple SMTP server that accepts incoming email for virtual domains and then lets me fill in the perl code to determine whether to accept the email and what to do with it, but there's a bunch of infrastructure that would need to be built around net::smtp::server, and I'm just wondering if anyone has already done it yet.

Why Net::SMTP::Server? Why a module with zero tests? Why a module with no comprehensive examples? Why a 2-star-1-review module from 1999 (thirteen years old)? I would investigate Net::Server::Mail or AnyEvent::SMTP::Server ~~or maybe POE server SMTP :)~~	[reply]

Check Exim, a full featured and mature MTA that can be extended in Perl.	[reply]

You might enjoy qpsmtpd - which is a complete SMTP-server written in Perl. It is 100% plugin-based, using perl, so you can decide whether to accept mails and do many many things with it. (I used to run an anti-spam company using it, for example.) Steve --	[reply]
