Any suggestion for smtp mail server in nodejs?

I googled out quite a few but all are at best alpha versions, so it seems I will have to try an code one. Instead of coding one from scratch I would like to build on existing implementation, but a good one.

Any suggestions?

You could check out open-source projects like Mailtrain, Postal, or Mailu as a starting point. They’re well-maintained and customizable. Alternatively, Postfix or SMTPmart are solid options if you want to work with established mail server software.

Some answers here are quite outdated, so I'd like to offer the lastest.

There are currently three Node SMTP servers (libraries) I know of:

Haraka (which has been mentioned and is quite robust/heavy)
smtp-server (this is the successor to the deprecated Simple SMTP project)
smtp-protocol

There's also mailin which is an SMTP server that receives messages and posts them to some URL for you to process. Mailin uses Python for some optional features.

SMTP server - I've used Simple SMTP in conjunction with mailparser. IMHO, these are the best tools on the Internet for building SMTP servers in Node.js.

UPDATE: Simple SMTP has been deprecated. Use SMTP server instead (the successor of the Simple SMTP module).
