Introduction

Welcome to vBook, the vSMTP reference guide. It serves as vSMTP’s primary documentation and tutorial resource.

⚠️ This manual documents vSMTP v2.x

vSMTP

vSMTP is a secured, faster and greener Mail Transfer Agent (MTA).

It is a more efficient, more secure and more ergonomic product than the competition. It is up to 10 times faster than its competitors and significantly reduces the need for IT resources.

It is written in Rust. Compared to solutions developed in other programming languages (usually C or C++), Rust provides a memory safety model, guaranteeing no segmentation fault or race conditions. It is the latest generation language best suited to system programming, network services, and embedded systems.

vSMTP development goes through a full cycle of testing. Unit and integration tests allow more comprehensive coverage of safety tests, one covering faults of the other, and vice versa (static view and runtime view).
