One shortcoming of purely HTTP-based webapps such as App Engine is
that they can't receive email. I know that some people are wanting to
create App Engine apps that do this, so I put together a service to
facilitate this. It runs as a standard SMTP server, and sends all the
email it receives via HTTP POST to a user-designated URL. It's free to
use (but not to abuse - see the 'about' page): http://www.smtp2web.com/

this feature request has no sense, if you want to receive emails sent
from your app, use a domain attached to your app engine using google
apps.
no code magic here, read more about domains, dns, mx
1. Sign in to the Google App Engine admin console.
2. Go to Administration > Versions
3. Click the 'Add Domain...' button under Domain Setup.
4. Enter your domain name in the 'Domain Name:' field
5. Click 'Add Domain'. You will be directed to the Google Apps
administrator console to complete the process.
6. Log in to the Google Apps control panel with your administrator
account.
7. Accept the terms and specify the access URL you'd like to
provide for your application.
8. Click 'Accept'.

I need both send and receive function outside of GEA.
Would it be possible to set up a http interface to let my GAE Apps
send out email with a from field myu...@mydomian.com? This will
overcome the limitation from GAE MAIL API in which the sender must be
a registered administrator.
thanks.

This looks great - just what I was looking for to fill this missing
feature hole in GAE.
One concern is with the longevity of your free service. Can you
provide any assurances that you'll be around for a while before we tie
our infrastructure to yours?
Thanks.

Except your back to a polling model and if you're doing an AppEngine
app, it's
not nearly as nice as getting data pushed at you through a convenient
POST.
I think it would be great if Google services all had web hooks in
addition to
GData.

depending on your requirement related to latency-to-processing of the
message queue, you can configure a FeedBurner feed "F2" to point to
your AppEngine and thus trigger processing of the email feed when
FeedBurner polls "F2".

Sorry, I won't be providing an interface to send mail. I don't want
the nightmare of trying to stop abuse by spammers.

I intend to keep it running indefinitely; however I can't provide
ironclad guarantees, since this _is_ a free service.
However, the project is open-source (http://code.google.com/p/ smtp2web/), so should the service ever go offline, you or someone else
can set up an identical service and run it yourself.
