Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to adjust Nikolay Kim's smtpserver code <http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/collective/smtpserver/> so that objects within the ZODB can affect the way that messages are received (i.e. veto messages based on certain criteria in the first instance). My problem is that I don't quite know how to get hold of the ZODB objects. As far as I can tell, Nikolay's smtpserver.SMTPServer.SMTPChannel.process_message method uses ZServer.PubCore.handle to make the connection, but I don't really understand how this all works. What I really want to be able to do from the server code is something like:: root = magic_that_gets_me_zodb_root() account_manager = root['Control_Panel']['AccountManager'] account_manager.checkAccepts(msg) I want calls like that to checkAccepts(msg) to be made a several points in the SMTP session - say after each of the SMTP commands RCPT, MAIL, DATA, etc. I only mention that in case there are implications for some transaction jiggery-pokery (although I don't expect any of the checkAccepts() type calls to need to write to the ZODB). Any pointers much appreciated. tim
