just stumbled over dumpster (http://quintanasoft.com/dumbster/). there's 
a javaworld article about it too: 
http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-08-2003/jw-0829-smtp.html. i just 
had a brief look at it, but it appears to be near to what you're looking 
for.

afaik not: "The JavaMail APIs were not intended to help you implement a 
mail server. Nonetheless, some of the utility classes, such as the MIME 
message parsing classes, might be of use to you."
