I have a web server with Django(Python programming language), hosted with Apache server. I would like to configure Google Appengine for the email server. My web server should be able to use Google Appengine, when it makes any email send using EmailMessage or sendmail infrastructure of Google mail api. I learnt that using remote_api I can access google appengine server from my main web server. However, I could not access the mail apis supported by google appengine. Is the remote_api is strictly for datastore?? So, only the db reads can be done from it but no other api calls??

I dont get why u want to use google app engines email server ... if u are already on a host i think i will itself provide u with mail facility...
i am telling u this because app engine restricts mails being sent per day to 2000...

I have a dedicated host. I need to configure the whole SMTP setup and spam filtering system to get a mail server going. I don't mind getting a premium membership in Google app engine, which has around a million mails limit/day.

2,000/day is the free quota. The hard limit is 7,400,000 email messages per day throttled to 5,100 per minute.

The example code for the remote APi gives you an interactive console from which you can access any of the modules in your application. I see no requirement that they be only datastore operations.

You may want to use a third-party SMTP relaying service. Here's a list.
Most of them have a simple API that lets you forward your email to their service. That way, you're not bound by the AppEngine's limits. The more reputable ones also take care of headers necessary so your app isn't tagged as a spam sender (which hopefully, it isn't :-)
