Off the top of my head? So you can centralize your SMTP

that's what MIME::Lite and friends do if you don't specifically
tell it to use a remote system.
ok. relaying to a local server for actual delivery makes a lot of
sense.
Yeah I've seen some neat twisted stuff, POE might be a reasonable
alternative in the Perl space.
POE is pretty neat. I haven't played with it much, but i liked it.
I've done a lot of twisted stuff in the past , so its very natural to
me. I brought it up over POE though , because it ships with an smtp
server built in - you really just need to customize the callbacks,
and you're good to go.
if you get a chance to flip through the twisted o'reilly book at a
bookstore, i recommend checking it out. programming an occasional
python app really keeps my perl coding style in check.
