About:
Haraka is a high-performance SMTP server written in Node.js, designed for transactional email processing and large-scale mailing. Its plugin-based architecture allows developers to easily customize behavior for security, routing, and delivery.
Key Features:
  • Event-driven, non-blocking I/O for high concurrency
  • Extensible plugin architecture for custom logic
  • Built-in support for TLS, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC
  • Flexible queueing and delivery options
Use Cases:
  • Transactional email infrastructure for applications
  • High-volume marketing email delivery
  • Custom mail routing and filtering gateway
Alternatives:
  • Postfix – Traditional MTA with extensive configuration, but heavier resource footprint
  • Exim – Highly configurable MTA, but complex syntax and less modern eventing
  • Mailcow – Full-featured email suite, not just an SMTP server
