How to disable annoying ipython exit prompt

ipython is an interactive Python shell which is generally great with its history and autocompletion, but has one annoying problem. Whenever you hit Ctrl-D to exit from ipython to bash, it asks you this question:

 
Do you really want to exit ([y]/n)?

Perhaps this prompt would be useful if I were using it to control an atomic power plant in emergency mode, but for my humble needs it's just annoying. It's easy to disable it - create a file called ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py with the following content.

c = get_config()
c.InteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False

Lamson, the Python SMTP server

Do the words "sendmail", "postfix" and "qmail" sound scary to you? You're not alone, and some developers were so fed up with 1970-s style software traditionally used to handle email routing, that they have written an email server in Python.

The front page of Lamson features some simple examples of how routing rules may be created - it's so logical, it's hard to believe it's handling email.
