Create a new :class:`SMTPServer` object, which binds to local address
- *localaddr*. It will treat *remoteaddr* as an upstream SMTP relayer. It
- inherits from :class:`asyncore.dispatcher`, and so will insert itself into

- A pair ``(host, port)`` is used for the :const:`AF_INET` address family,
where *host* is a string representing either a hostname in Internet domain
notation like ``'daring.cwi.nl'`` or an IPv4 address like ``'100.50.200.5'``,
