[Zope] SMTP server external method??

Has anyone attempted a python-based SMTP server that creates a Zope object immediately upon recieveing email??? If not, how do you handle email in zope for a web-based system?? just periodically create objects from the contents of /var/spool/mail/user ... or use some other method?? ideally, the object's various properties would be set upon instantiation...stuff like header fields would correspond to properties...etc... For those that handle email in Zope, how do you approach this?? thanks!! Jon Brisbin jbrisbin.net
