> An E-Mail client not written in C to start with.

Exim is an SMTP server (MTA), not an email client (MUA).



Fair enough. Doesn't fix the buffer overflow though.


Which non-C MTA would you recommend?


There's maddy, but it's very new and not very popular.


No experience but there seems to be one here: https://james.apache.org/

It has "enterprise" in the name though so it's unlikely to be very robust or secure.


Someone using a rust implementation of telnet listening to port 25 to answer incoming requests.


Thunderbird, given that the mix of JavaScript + C++ should be less of a problem for buffer overflows.

Otherwise, business opportunity for other language communities.


> Thunderbird

Thunderbird is an MUA and is not a substitute for an MTA like Exim.
