Jsmtpd
Jsmtpd is a compact SMTP daemon (Email server), entirely written in Java. It is basicly able to receive E-mail following the SMTP protocol, described in RFC 821. Each others functionnalities are implemented as plugin modules, allowing the core to remain small and easily understaindable.
As now, Jsmtpd is able to receive mail, check it's recipients (ACL-SimpleACL plugin), check for viruses (filters-ClamAVFilter, connects to a ClamAV daemon), check for spam using the Java Jasen engine (filters-JasenAntiSpamFilter) or a spamassassin daemon, check senders via RBL plugin or blacklist plugin. Emails can be delivered localy using the mailbox writer (DeliveryServices-UnixMailboxWriter), or to a remote STMP server (DeliveryServices-RemoteSmtpSender). DNSQueries are also provided by a plugin (DNSJava).
