In development, we need a SMTP Server to see the results of send mail via SMTP protocol in Python application. Instead of configure a mail daemon, we could use this little script to receive the SMTP request, and save each session into an EML file. *.eml could be viewed with your favorite email client, you need not send them out.
Update: Fix bug for overwrite files when received multi-message in one SMTP session.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 | from datetime import datetime import asyncore from smtpd import SMTPServer class EmlServer(SMTPServer): no = 0 def process_message(self, peer, mailfrom, rcpttos, data): filename = '%s-%d.eml' % (datetime.now().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'), self.no) f = open(filename, 'w') f.write(data) f.close print '%s saved.' % filename self.no += 1 def run(): foo = EmlServer(('localhost', 25), None) try: asyncore.loop() except KeyboardInterrupt: pass if __name__ == '__main__': run() |

I'm so happy to learn that it's helpful to you:)
Note: This sinppet has been fixed for bug overwriting files when received multi-messages in on session.

This snippet requires running it from root account. You have to add some code to bind to a port number over 1024. Like in line 17 and 18:
and later in line 26 and later:
Of course, you have to import sys at the top of the module too.

very useful, thanks for sharing this snippet
#
Line 12 should be: f.close()
#
instead of writing an .eml you can directly send your mail to the built in python mail server. on a shell do:
then send your mails to localhost:25 and you will see the results immediately :-)
