It defines a recmail command, which starts an SMTP server.

recmail¶

recmail stands for “receive mail”. Starts a configurable SMTP server which forwards incoming mails to your Lino application. For every incoming mail it sends a mail_received signal. It is up to your application to decide what to with these mails.

If you want to run this as a daemon, you must do:

$ pip install python-daemon
