**Stalwart SMTP** is a modern SMTP server developed in Rust with a focus on security, speed, and extensive configurability.
It features built-in DMARC, DKIM, SPF and ARC support for message authentication, strong transport security through DANE, MTA-STS and SMTP TLS reporting, and offers great flexibility and customization thanks to its dynamic configuration rules and native support for Sieve scripts.
