Net::Server::Mail version 0.15
==============================

This module is a versatile and extensible implementation of the SMTP
protocol and its different evolutions like ESMTP and LMTP. The event
driven object-oriented API makes easy to incorporate the SMTP protocol
to your programs.

Other SMTPd implementations don't support useful ESMTP extensions and
the LMTP protocol. Their interface design precludes adding them
later. So I've decided to rewrite a complete implementation with
extensibility in mind.

It provides mechanism to easy addition future or not yet implemented
ESMTP extensions. Developers can hook code at each SMTP session state
and change the module's behaviors by registering event call-backs. The
class is designed to be easily inherited from.
