I'm wondering about creating IMAP and SMTP services for Zope. Someone mentioned to me that extending (using?) the ZServer could be a Good Thing (tm).
probably. i've always been curious though about the threads in zserver, i thought they were allocated to handle only zpublisher requests (maybe just http requests). assuming you don't want to tie up the thread handling the asyncore it seems you might need to create a pool of threads for handling requests, or adjust your code to translate imap/smtp requests into zpublisher requests so the default pool can be used.
Or, I guess, you could implement the whole thing as a ZEO client, and avoid interfering with the threads of your webserving Zope. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net
