I'm trying to get MailDropHost running under windows, but it errors with:
Traceback (most recent call last): File ".\maildrop.py", line 296, in ? pid = os.fork() AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'fork'
Altering it to run without threading seems to work quite well.
It's forking not to use threading per se but to use threads as a way to completely detach from the console.
I will update the documentation to specifically mention that Windows is not officially supported, that was my oversight.
A sufficiently clever / motivated person could probably adapt the code from 'zopeservice.py' to run the MailDropHost daemon as a service in Windwos.
thanks for the tip - I was about to use srvany for this...
