## Notes

Haraka is an SMTP server written in Node.js and extended through plugins. It can act as a filtering mail transfer agent for the domains it is configured to accept, or as a mail submission server on ports 465 and 587, where an auth plugin handles the sign-in of the sending client.

The README says Haraka is not a mail store, a local delivery agent or an IMAP server. The project keeps a registry of community and core plugins. It was started by Matt Sergeant and is now maintained by the Haraka community.
