MEsmtpd is a compact SMTP server that provides authentication services and allows for rewriting of the From-header.
One of the key features of MEsmtpd is SMTP-Auth, which is compliant with the RFC 2554 standard. This means that you can enjoy enhanced security for your email messages, preventing unauthorized access and ensuring that only authorized users can send messages.
In addition to this, MEsmtpd allows you to rewrite the 'From:' header of your email messages. This includes both the 'email body From: header' and 'envelope from' components, which means that you can use an account-list to configure the software and control who is authorized to send messages.
One of the biggest advantages of MEsmtpd is that it is a great alternative to traditional SMTP servers that do not have these capabilities. For example, many large companies do not allow plain SMTP because it is too easy for senders to fake the 'From header' (sender). In these cases, companies often turn to MAPI (MS Exchange) for a solution. However, MEsmtpd is an independent extension to sendmail, postfix or qmail – so it can be used as a standalone solution or integrated into your existing email infrastructure.
Lastly, it's important to note that the latest version of MEsmtpd has added a new feature called 'smtp Reset', which was added thanks to Paul. If you're looking for an easy-to-use, reliable SMTP server with a number of advanced features, then be sure to give MEsmtpd a try!
