What sort of an SMTP server do most people use around here for sending  
emails?

I ask because I would like to look into this: an SMTP server that is not  
just used as a relay to send outgoing messages, but a server which can  
accept incoming messages, process, filter and assign email addresses  
programmatic ally using ROR naturally… would anyone have any  
recommendations?
