Mox API

Email is one of the most ubiquitous communication tools of the last several decades, but has accumulated a complexity that makes it hard for people to join the network as a first class citizen. Most email server software is hard to set up, maintain, and improve, hence there is an opportunity for a new generation of email implementations.

Mox is a modern email server implementation that makes it easy for people and organizations to run their own mail server, allowing them to stay in control of their own email communication, and keeping email decentralized. All important protocols/mechanisms needed for a modern email setup have been implemented in mox, including: IMAP4, SMTP, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, TLSRPT, automatic TLS with ACME and Let's Encrypt, IP/domain/bayesian spam filtering, internationalized email, account autoconfiguration. This project will bring an HTTP-based API for sending email, as well as a number of other worthwhile improvements ranging from sending email over SMTP, a better admin web interface and more documentation.
