| Title: mod_smtpd - Modular SMTP Server for Apache 2.2 |
| license: https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 |
| |
| # Introduction # |
| |
| `mod_smtpd` is a modular SMTP server similar in spirit to |
| [qpsmtpd](http://smtpd.develooper.com). |
| |
| For developers it offers a dependable platform to quickly write a custom |
| SMTP application without the burdens of portability, protocol, |
| daemonization and/or process scheduling. |
| |
| For system administrators it precludes the need for a separate SMTP daemon |
| and also allows for simple replacement of SMTP backend without having to |
| switch SMTP daemons (just load a different queue module!). |
| |
| Features Include: |
| |
| - Simple yet advanced plugin system based on Apache hooks. |
| |
| - Close to nothing built in. All functionality is required by plugins. |
| |
| - Use of Apache filters for the SMTP "DATA" command. |
| |
