Hi, Attached below is a RFC822 Minimal SMTP inbound mail server. Basically you can have an inbound mail server with a pluggable delivery set of classes, ie, given a user name, what do you want me to do with their mail? A simple example as well as a very minimal example delivery class are included. It seems to work OK, though, it's not been pounded on heavily. It won't work on any existing system which has something running on port 25, so, that counts out most unix/linux boxes. SMTP is an old protocol, so, you have no choice but to run on Port 25. Also, it only does inbound mail and isn't really meant to be a replacment for sendmail/smail/qmail/etc. If you need to send mail from Squeak it's already built in the class SMTPSocket.
If you are going to run this in a non-friendly environment you might want to modify it to put some limit on the size of the mail message, since that would be a quick way to make things go badly.
It was greatly inspired by and liberaly copied and modified from the PluggableWebServer PWS. Buffer handling code was also copied and modifed from the SimpleClientSocket Class. Thanks to all of the involved authors. This saved me a huge amount of time!
cheers
