[Zope-CMF] CMF Question

[Jens Vagelpohl]

here's another example for asynchronous mail processing independent of 
zope, a drop-in MailHost replacement with an independent polling process::

http://www.dataflake.org/software/maildrophost

probably needs some polishing but it does work as promised in this first 
version already. mail messages are written to a spool directory on disk by 
the MaildropHost and then read/processed by the independent polling 
process.
