This software is a basic email server (MTA) that is designed to only receive SMTP messages. It has a simple interface and is easy to use.
If you're looking for a hassle-free incoming SMTP email server, let us introduce you to MailDiode. This simple tool is perfect for small servers and it's capable of accepting and delivering incoming maildir email for a variety of aliases and users at a range of virtual domains.
The best part? MailDiode is intentionally minimalist, with only about 10% of the complexity of tools like postfix or sendmail. As a result, it offers a refreshing user experience for those who may have felt frustrated by the many complexities that come with other email configurations.
Who might use MailDiode? Someone who wants to run their own incoming email server without the added stress of other confounded needs. It would be perfect for users who can rely on another server to handle outgoing mail. Perhaps, someone who runs both incoming and outgoing mail servers and realizes allowing each daemon to handle one specific task is simpler and more secure than using one service for both.
It is important to note that MailDiode is still in Alpha quality code. While the 0.0.4 release is live, it is not yet considered production quality code. We would caution users to not entrust MailDiode with real email communications just yet.
