About KumoMTA
KumoMTA is an Open-Source, enterprise-grade email message transfer agent (MTA) software for sending high-volume, business-critical emails. KumoMTA is typically chosen by high-volume email users looking to replace PowerMTA, Momentum, or traditional Open Source MTAs.
KumoMTA offers high-performance message relay to the tune of millions of messages per hour per server, combined with extreme flexibility and configurability through its use of a Lua scripting engine for configuration and message management.

"Greatest documentation of OSS I ever read" Posted 2025-10-10
Pros: KumoMTA has easily the best documentation that I have ever read. It is super customizable because of the Lua scripting and if you ever get stuck, there's a great community that will help you out.
Features like webhooks are a blessing and once everything works, it works amazingly well.Cons: It's a lot to take in, knowledge about email is mandatory. Examples in docs could be improved.
Overall: When I first started using KumoMTA, it took some time to get used to it. However, after all these months I can say I am beyond happy we opted for KumoMTA.

"KumoMTA review" Posted 2025-10-09
Pros: High performance, extremely stable, and open-source, giving enterprises more options.I replaced Momentum with KumoMTA, which saved me a significant amount of costs. Moreover, Momentum’s support has been getting worse.
Cons: Configuration items lack real, effective examples and guidance on how to better implement certain features, methods, and so on.
Out-of-the-box configurations are limited; this part could actually be developed into a marketplace to enable community participation in co-creation.Overall: After a period of use, although it was difficult at the beginning, once you become familiar with it, you’ll find that KumoMTA is truly stable and reliable. I hope it keeps getting better.

"The only real OSS MTA" Posted 2025-10-09
Pros: There's a lot to like with Kumo: easy to spin up instances, easy to scale instances, lightweight, great webhook/event support, and their community is kind so any questions I have get answered quickly in their Discord.
Cons: There's no UI/frontend so it's very much for devs. This is fine because we built our own MTA monitoring software.
Overall: We're rolling this out across our ESP/fleet at the moment. It's been a joy to use and we recommend it to all our friends in the industry.

"Flexible, reliable and built for performance!" Posted 2025-10-08
Pros: I love how quick and easy it is to setup KumoMTA.
It gives you total control over every part of the message delivery which helps you to transform and even fix messages that don’t follow RFC standards.
The configuration system is easy to use. It's extremely flexible, thanks to its Lua scripting module.
Well documented, scales beautiful. The webhook (logging) system is also great which makes collecting analytics and statistics really simple.
I really appreciate the level of personal support that I receive and I am truly grateful for it. In the past, I had a small feature request which was quickly incorporated into the software in under 24 hours.Cons: There's a bit of learning curve at the start, especially for those new to Lua, but this is true for every software/MTA.
Apart from that, my experience with KumoMTA has been smooth sailing.Overall: A beautiful software for anyone who wants to run production-grade email infrastructure. Stable, fast and modern, and an amazing community.
