chasquid
SMTP (email) server with a focus on simplicity, security, and ease of operation.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is chasquid actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. chasquid is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at blitiri.com.ar — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What chasquid actually does
Chasquid is a mail transfer agent written in Go designed to handle SMTP email delivery. It focuses on offering a simpler operational model compared to traditional mail servers while prioritising security. As a mail server, it routes, sends, and receives messages across networks.
Best fit: It is a suitable choice if you prefer a Go-based mail transfer agent that prioritises straightforward configuration over the complexity of legacy alternatives like Postfix or Sendmail.
Worth knowing: Setting up self-hosted email requires careful management of DNS records, reverse DNS, and anti-spam mechanisms to avoid deliverability issues, and this project lacks recent tagged releases.
Deployment notes
Being a compiled Go binary, it typically runs as a standalone service with minimal external runtime dependencies, though you will need to provision persistent storage for mail queues and configure certificates for TLS.
