Developing an SMTP server...
Hi folks,
I would like to develop a simple SMTP and POP3 Server written in Java which would be capable of sending and receiving simple "text/plain" mails on a LAN.
Could you please tell me what are the prerequisites (softwares, libraries etc..) that I may need in order to do the same. Also is there any websites that would help me in this regard.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ciao!

"Softwares and libraries"?
You should be able to do this in plain old Java without using any other third-party code. Unless perhaps you were interested in third-party code which satisfies your entire requirements (it does exist).
You're talking about programming here, right? Have you skipped the design phase, where you find out what's involved in SMTP and POP3? My guess is that you have. If you had done that research you would have a better idea of what programming requirements you had.
