If you really want to implement your own SMTPServer, you may want to look at writing a daemon: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/473620/how-do-you-create-a-daemon-in-python — Ian Stevens, May 29 '14 at 18:16

See the link below for info on how to setup a mail server that will pipe incoming emails to a script: http://harrybailey.com/2009/02/send-or-pipe-an-email-to-a-php-script/. This article is specific to PHP scripts, but the same thing can be done with python.
