I had some problems when I wanted to do attach a huge data file (such as mp3, avi, or etc.) to an email. Current smtpd.py in Python2.5 calls process_message that takes a string for its argument. This cause python running process to consume too much memory. I'd like to suggest an alternative method for this purpose process_message_huge that takes a file-descriptor for its argument. The patch will use process_message_huge if the method exists, otherwise, it will call process_message with a string that will consume a huge memory for backward compatibility.
I'm closing this as won't fix since smtpd.py is deprecated and will likely not get any future development. Please see aiosmtpd as a much better third party replacement.
