Here's a quick and dirty script I use this for email testing purposes
- it's windows specific, but that's easy enough to change.
import smtpd, os, time, asyncore
class mailserver(smtpd.SMTPServer):
def __init__(self):
smtpd.SMTPServer.__init__(self, ('',25), None)
print 'Mailsink listening on port 25'
def process_message(self, peer, mailfrom, rcpttos, data):
basepath='c:\\.maildump'
print 'mail from: %s to: %s' %(mailfrom, repr(rcpttos))
for rcpt in rcpttos:
rcpt = rcpt.split('@')[0]
try:
os.mkdir(basepath+'\\'+rcpt)
except OSError:
pass
f =
file(basepath+'\\'+rcpt+'\\'+mailfrom+time.strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'),
'w')
f.write(data)
f.close()
def loop ():
x = mailserver()
try:
asyncore.loop(timeout=2)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
print'interrupt'
x.close()
if __name__=='__main__':
loop()
