What Hacker News says

3 sources
They just need an IMAP/SMTP <-> JMAP bridge. This allows (small) providers to add support without much effort and there's suddenly a demand for clients (and vice versa good clients will increase demand for JMAP support). The website lists jmap-proxy (https://github.com/jmapio/jmap-perl) Its age, technology choice and lack of documentation aren't exactly confidence inspiring, however. Stalwart (https://github.com/stalwartlabs/imap-server/) seems to include a proxy feature (for both, though it's non-obvious to discover) and be better maintained. A functioning proxy is make or break for me. If it works I can jump right into making a client, if it doesn't there's no point.

Show HN: SMTP Server in Rust with DMARC, Dane, MTA-STS, Sieve, OTEL Support

I am happy to announce Stalwart SMTP [1], a modern SMTP server developed in Rust with a focus on security, speed, and extensive configurability. It features built-in DMARC, DKIM, SPF and ARC support for message authentication, strong transport security through DANE, MTA-STS and SMTP TLS reporting, and offers great flexibility and customization thanks to its dynamic configuration rules and native support for Sieve scripts. The project has been recently awarded a grant from NLNet and the European Commission's Next Generation Internet program to develop a mail server in Rust. The next step in the roadmap is to refactor the code base of the previously released Stalwart JMAP[2]/IMAP[1] servers and to create an integrated mail server solution that is simple to install and manage. Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome! [1]: https://

Show HN: Distributed JMAP and IMAP Servers in Rust

I am happy to announce Stalwart JMAP [1], an open-source JSON Meta Application Protocol server that aims to be scalable, robust and secure. Some of its key features are: - JMAP Core, JMAP Mail and JMAP over WebSocket full compliance. - IMAP4 rev2/1 support via Stalwart IMAP, an imap-to-jmap proxy [2]. - Scalable and fault tolerant: consensus over Raft, node autodiscovery over gossip and read-only replicas. - RocksDB backend with full-text search support in 17 languages. - OAuth 2.0 authorization code and device authorization flows. - Domain Keys Identified Mail (DKIM) message signing. - Written in Rust. - No third-party software required to run or scale. The next item on the roadmap is to release an SMTP server in Rust with the goal of making self-hosting an e-mail server much simpler. Any comments or suggestions are more than welcome! [1
