It depends. I'm trying hard to stay out of this thread, but smtpd.py 
is more of a server that speaks a protocol that happens to be used 
sometimes <wink> for email. I really don't know where best to put 
it, but another alternative is to have a 'protocols' package perhaps 
with client and server sub-modules where available.
Two other quick things: I have an adaptation of smtpd.py that 
provides LMTP support (RFC 2033) that might make it into Python 2.6. 
Also, I'd really love it if the top level 'email' package name was 
reserved for the current code.
