ok i dont want to write an mta i want to use another mta to recieve emails on say -
[EMAIL PROTECTED] so can i start reading the emails to python from that mta How to set this up to read messages from the mta sending out email we are using sendmail so we ll continue using that for now thanks It depends. If you're trying to write a MTA, think about looking at and stealing parts of mailmain and smtpd.py Mailman: http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/index.html Smtpd:http://barry.warsaw.us/software/Code/smtpd.py If you're going to use someone else as a MTA then just use IMAP or POP to get the mail out, there are IMAP and POP libraries imap: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-imaplib.html pop: http://docs.python.org/lib/module-poplib.html Else, if you're writing this all from scratch, whip out the RFC and start hacking: http://info.internet.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc/files/rfc821.txt --Michael On 1/13/08, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I m trying to create something simple a mailing list similar to yahoo > groups > I m stumbling at the part where the python recieves messages via say > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > how to make python recieve emails and process it > after that it is straight forward processing in python inserting in db etc >
