Looking for a good open source email server.

I'm working on a project that would require me to write my own email server. I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions for an open source email server written in .NET that I could use as a starting point.

Bonus points if it has something already built in for sending text messages.

Hi, you should check HMail Server http://www.hmailserver.com/

Interesting, do you know if that has any SMS functionality?

Don't really know, I think that you should check the documentation (http://www.hmailserver.com/documentation/)

hMailServer is written in unmanaged C++.

If you're looking for a jumping-off point, consider these open source projects.

Rnwood's SmtpServer - hosted on CodePlex. an SMTP server component that can be embedded in application to allow them to receive and process emails using the SMTP protocol. Looks to be fairly active at the moment.

OpenSmtp.Net. It's an SMTP server written in C#, and leverages the System.Web.Mail namespace. This namespace has been deprecated, though, in favour of System.Net.Mail. There's been no activity since Feb 2005 on this project.

There may be the skeleton of what you'd want in your product, and perhaps you can enhance the code to use the System.Net.Mail namespace instead.
