Could you build this?

Partial The web dashboard and API are buildable with AI help, but a working SMTP MTA in Rust is the hard core. Deliverability (IP reputation, DKIM/SPF/DMARC, bounce and complaint handling) depends on operational expertise and infrastructure rather than code alone.

What it would actually take: Architecture would be a Rust async SMTP server and queue with an HTTP API for sending, a bounce/complaint processing pipeline, and a dashboard. The hard parts are deliverability engineering (IP warm-up, reputation management, feedback loops) and MTA-level edge cases, which need experienced email infrastructure operators and reliable IP addresses.
