Paul, have you read point 2 in that document?
"""
An incoming MTA must run on the same host as the list server. This MTA
is quite simple because it only delivers messages to the appropriate
Sympa spool.
"""

Mitar, why are you asking for such a weir thing? You are asking for a
server and a protocol for submitting messages to Sympa, there is already
a proven and solid one: SMTP. You do not even need to expose that MTA to
anything but your Internet facing MTA. If you do not like Postfix, you
can use any other MTA you like, or even develop your own in Python,
Java, Perl, C ... with a very limited set of functions. I've done it in
the two first languages, and there is plenty of source code out on the
Internet to copy from.

I think that Sympa developers have better things to do that develop a
server and protocol for submitting mail messages to a mail list server.
