Hi Tim, Thank you for the alternative view, yes i have the twisted downloaded and inspecting it prior to this question. My only concern would be this is because the said COM component is made to run optimally in Windows and i am not sure i have the same assurance when it comes to Twisted. I needed the events because i need to inspect and log in nearly every level of the smtp transaction so just creating a simple smtp was not the goal, the goal is to create a full fledge mail server with crazy control and logging.
I am not familiar with how Twisted is implemented in Windows, if it uses the specific windows apis and asynch model winsock2 directly for optimal performance. So do you still think i should stick with twisted? I am all open for suggestions.
