You can also consider nginx, if you want to write a server in C
(or in the D language).

It is a web server, but its core is usable as a framework for generic 
servers (in fact nginx has also a POP3/IMAP4 proxy server).

nginx has many appealing features, like integrated garbage collector, 
and multi process workers.
