This is done with web2py's routing function. Using the parametric router, for
example, you just need to set the default application name and then _ah will be
treated as a controller name.
Copy router.example.py to routes.py and make a router like this:
routers = dict(
# base router
BASE = dict(
default_application = 'welcome',
),
)
...changing 'welcome' as appropriate. You can perform other routing functions
as you like, of course.

Once your mail() function in the _ah controller gets control, you can call your
subclassed helper (put it in modules if that's convenient for you).
The main thing is that you have to invoke web2py through gaehandler for a
request to use the framework.
