Similar to my question earlier about an all-Perl HTTP server,I think you'd be better off using a well-known and reliable mail server and simply solving the forking problem with something like PersistentPerl or Matt's PPerl (or a small stub that sends requests to mod_perl).
I have asked myself whether there is a production-quality all-Perl
mail server. This would allow you to write code in Perl to process mail messages without forking a Perl interpreter per
message.
I don't think it's very popular. Most people use the JavaMail API, which is part of J2EE. It's just an API, and does not require that the server be written in Java.P.S. There is a mail server written entirely in Java, called "James", hosted by Apache.
