smtpd.MailmanProxy is completely broken, it takes the wrong arguments but also assumes the existence of a "Mailman" module which doesn't exist.

It should be removed in 3.8 or 3.9.

Created from https://bugs.python.org/issue35788

Happy to create a PR if this is agreed.

[warsaw]

Yes, it should be deprecated and removed. TBH, IMHO smtpd.py should be entirely deprecated. aiosmtpd (3rd party) is a much more modern approach.

[samuelcolvin]

Ok, if I create a PR, should it just remove MailmanProxy completely or mark it as deprecated in the docs to be removed in 3.9?

Personally, I think it should be ok to remove it completely since it hasn't been working at all for the last 4 minor versions.

True, but I think we should stick to the normal deprecation process, just to be safe.
