About chasquid

chasquid is an SMTP (email) server designed to be easy to set up and hard to misconfigure. It focuses on security and simplicity, supporting SMTP, SMTP with STARTTLS, and SMTP over TLS. The server is written in Go, which means it runs as a single binary with no external dependencies and handles concurrency efficiently.

Key features include DANE and MTA-STS for secure mail delivery, SPF and DKIM verification, and alias-based virtual domains. It uses a simple configuration file format and stores mail in maildir format. chasquid integrates well with systemd and includes a built-in monitoring HTTP server. It runs on Linux and other Unix-like systems.

chasquid is open source under the Apache 2.0 license, developed by Alberto Bertogli. It is a good fit for sysadmins who want a straightforward, secure mail server without the complexity of Postfix or Exim, especially for small to medium deployments.
