Hi there,
On year ago I was installing my server and I needed a SMTP server. I've tried sendmail, postfix and qmail but either I always got lost in configuration nightmares (I just wanted virtual users handled by SQL), or weird errors (qmail not recognizing my subdomains). So being the Lua freak I am, I decided to make my own, in Lua
And so it was born, and now one year later I've decided it to be mature enough to suffer the thunders of the outside world, so I present it to you, Tethys, my lua SMTP server designed to be easy to configure, light, extensible and simple (obviously it probably is only to me
).
And while I was in an SMTP mood I made a temporary email service based on Tethys, MailCatch.com. I thought this would be the best way to test out if Tethys can handle a nice load
