docker-mailserver VS AnonAddy

I can recommend Docker mailserver (it also works with Podman). It is already pretty lightweight but you can even make it lighter and it has an active community as well as regular updates.

Use https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver or mailcow . They both provide reasonable default setup for spam detection and even UI for adjusting settings.

" this docker based mail server looks pretty legit https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver "

Check https://github.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver It has almost everything in a single docker image. Email is not the easiest to implement with container(s), but that project has managed it.

I set up docker-mailserver[0] Monday in ~6 hours, most of which were me trying to be fancy using podman instead of docker and dealing with SELinux. But then again I did choose it over mail-in-a-box for just that level of customization. Obviously I can't tell how reliable it will be in the long run yet, but since it's using the classic Postfix/Dovecot stack I expect it'll be pretty stable

With providers like Addy and SimpleLogin it is possible to use your own domain.

This is one of a few reasons I have started to use email forwarders such as AnonAddy.

Not all of my emails have been moved over yet, but over time I plan on depreciating almost if not all of my main emails from logins.

For receive-only e-mails, take a look at addy.io as a free alternative to DDG. It's easier to manage with an account page listing every alias you create, with the option to block if required.

I use https://anonaddy.com/

My only complaint: 90% of the emails coming from AnonAddy, which is the alias service I use for all of my accounts, end up in the spam folder.

AnonAddy - https://github.com/anonaddy/anonaddy/blob/master/SELF-HOSTING.md OR SimpleLogin.io The real issue you are going to face is being able to receive emails on your server. If you are trying to do this at home, most home ISPs block incoming port 25. Even on most cloud providers you will face the same problem.

Anonaddy, basically the exact same product made by different people, can also be selfhosted. https://anonaddy.com/
