Hi all!

After searching for some generic SMTP Server classes, I found out that  
ruby seems to lack this. Therefore I ported Perl’s Net::SMTP::Server to  
Ruby.

My work can be found at [http://www.evenflow.nl/dev](http://www.evenflow.nl/dev), where I’ve created a  
source tarball and a RubyGem. Things can be implemented much more  
elegant, but this is the 0.1 version and is basically just a raw port of  
the Perl module.

Let me know what you think of it and I hope that it’s useful to some  
people.

Switch to hoe and you get that and a lot more for free.

I can’t find it in the gem. The gemspec has svn excluded and when  
untarring the gem, I don’t see them. The tar has it, yes and I’ve just  
uploaded a new one without the svn stuff.
