So I’m migrating stuff from my old server to a new provider and only thing left is email.

The problem is I used luke smith’s emailwiz script ( the script and setup itself isn’t a problem ) because it uses system users for managing users with dovecot and friends to setup a mail server.

So now I’m looking for a new email server to selfhost (preferably docker/podman) that in the future I can easilly migrate.Would also love if somebody has a reccomendation on how I could backuo and import emails from the old server.

NOTE: I use caddy as webserver, so the server should have a simple way on getting ssl certs, or abikity to easilly make use if caddy one’s.

      This is probably the way, because a traditional “mail server” is actually 4-5 different servers working together.

      • postfix for SMTP
      • dovecot for IMAP
      • amavis to plug in…
      • spamassassin as anti spam
      • clam-av as antivirus

      And they can all be very easily misconfigured to break everything completely. Great learning experience though.

      Looks amazing. But the dual licensing scares me. The open variant could be artificially limited in functionality or could end up basic abandon ware.
