django-smtpd allows you to handle email messages just like Django processes HTTP requests.

[nside]

Hello,

I just started a new project that basically allows you to write email
handlers in Django. It could be used in a user-registration
application where the user could reply to the email instead of
clicking on a URL.
I drafted a quick documentation at http://code.google.com/p/django-smtpd/wiki/GettingStarted
It shows the basic design of the lib and I'm looking for comments/
suggestions/use cases if that's of interest of anyone on this list.
Note that this is still in "hacking" phase so don't consider using
this in a production system.

Thanks!
Denis

I think you'll get better feedback by posting to the django-users
mailing list about this. This list is for the internal development of
Django itself, not external applications.

Regards,
Malcolm

Sorry about that.
Do you think such a library, once stable, could make it to the trunk?

We never predict the future. It's not impossible, but that's because
nothing is. Whether it's actually a common pattern with either a
significant barrier to implementation or a single best implementation is
open to debate and maybe months down the track that will be clearer.

My gut feeling is that it's something which is going to be a bit niche
and more useful as an external project, but that's why we don't predict
the future.
