The README file had said that the SMTP server would be an instance of smtpd.SMTPServer, but that's actually no longer true now that we don't use the smtpd module anymore. In this commit I'm updating that bit of documentation not to specifically reference smtpd.SMTPServer. Instead, it's a bit vague about what kind of SMTP server is provided, only promising an API "similar to smtpd.SMTPServer". This gives us freedom to change the exact API offered by that class if necessary.

Closes #51

With deprecation of smtpd module, are you going to vendor the module?
