The Son Of Sam (SoS) is my attempt at bringing the same basic design ideas from the world of web applications (and pretty much any application written after 1990) to the world of SMTP processing.

At its core SoS is just a Python based SMTP server that can receive emails, process them using handlers based on routing regex, and then relay results out again using templates. All of this is done without using alias files, m4 macros, pipes, weird protocols, or duplicate processing of the emails.

SoS just works like a flexible scripting language SMTP should operate.nullnull
