More about vSMTP


What is vSMTP ?

vSMTP is a next-gen Mail Transfer Agent (MTA), faster, safer and greener.

  • It is 100% built in Rust.
  • It is lightning fast.
  • It is modular and highly customizable.
  • It has a complete filtering system.
  • It is actively developed and maintained.

Faster, Safer, Greener

While optimizing IT resources becomes an increasing challenge, computer attacks remain a constant problem.

Every day, over 300 billion emails are sent and received in the world. Billions of attachments are processed, analyzed and delivered, contributing to the increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

To meet these challenges, viridIT is developing a new technology of email gateways, also called vSMTP.

Filtering

vSMTP enable you to create complex set of rules to filter your emails using vSMTP's scripting language (vsl) based on Rhai. You can:

  • inspect / modify the content of incoming emails.
  • forward and deliver emails locally or remotely.
  • connect to databases.
  • run commands.
  • quarantine emails.

and much more.

// -- /etc/vsmtp/service/database.vsl

// vSMTP can be extended with plugins.
import "plugins/vsmtp_plugin_mysql" as mysql;

// Here we declare a service.
// Let's connect to a mysql database.
export const database = mysql::connect(#{
    // the url to connect to the database.
    url: "mysql://localhost/?user=greylist-manager&password=my-password"",
    timeout: "30s",
    connections: 4,
});
// -- /etc/vsmtp/filter.vsl
// Here we declare our rules for filtering.

import "service/database" as db;

#{
  // hook on the 'mail from' stage. (when the server receives the `MAIL FROM:` command)
  mail: [
    rule "greylist" || {
      let sender = ctx::mail_from();

      // is the user in our greylist ?
      // (Don't forget to sanitize your inputs to prevent SQL injection)
      if db::greylist.query(`SELECT * FROM greylist.sender WHERE address = '${sender}';`).is_empty() {
        // it does not, we add the address to the database, then deny the email.
        db::greylist.query(`
            INSERT INTO greylist.sender (user, domain, address)
            values ("${sender.local_part}", "${sender.domain}", "${sender}");
        `);
        // close the connection with a built in "451 - 4.7.1" error code.
        state::deny(code::c451_7_1())
      } else {
        // it is, we accept the email.
        state::accept()
      }
    }
  ],
}
