Mail-in-a-Box: a mail server in a box
5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 24 Nov 2023

If all I needed was SMTP? I'd likely just use Amazon SES or Mailgun.
I know some folks have concerns with the privacy of that(1), and really want to run their own SMTP. If that's the case, Mail In A Box can do the job, or you can go with a pure SMTP solution like https://github.com/ix-ai/smtp (not endorsing it -- it's just been on my radar) or a roll-your-own Postfix/Exim solution. The latter requires almost zero resources after it's set up; slap it on a $20/year VM and you're done.
1. Chasing privacy with email is a chimera. If you really want private communications, email is not the tool.
