Mailcow VS SimpleLogin

I've been running mailcow [1] on a Hetzner cloud server for a few years and am pretty happy with it.

I have been searching for a self-hosted suite similar to Google Worksuite. I found the following: 1. Mailcow - https://mailcow.email/

Yes, I switched to mailcow (https://mailcow.email) and installed Roundcube via the excellent tutorial (https://docs.mailcow.email/third_party/roundcube/third_party-roundcube).

I've heard good things about mailcow

https://mailcow.email/

You can self host email if you really want to, but it's really more trouble than it's worth. If you do self host, you have to worry about the consequences of missed emails if your server or Internet ever goes down, and you'll have to use someone else's SMTP server if you don't want your emails to go directly to spam. The cheapest good SMTP server is Amazon SES, which I believe is $0.10 per 10k emails. I've been looking into mailcow for self hosting an email server and it seems the best way to go.

However, https://mailcow.email/ is the ONLY exclusion I make for that. As it's an all in one docker managed solution. Where the only things you have to worry about is the reputation of your mailing IP.

But its probably easier to use a dockerized container with all the mail stuff integrated and pre-setup like: https://mailcow.email/

If you're looking for a full solution that I haven't tried (due to resources) try: MailCow. Good luck.

>Email aliases, mailing lists, subaddressing and catch-all addresses support.

Another feature that would be nice to have built-in is masked hide-my-email aliases for privacy like the cloaked email services from iCloud, FastMail, SimpleLogin, Cloudflare email routing, etc.[1]

For now, I use the typical aliases addresses in Dovecot but it doesn't hide the real email when replying. Also, creating new aliases in Dovecot-based email systems is very tedious and cumbersome because you have to go through the cPanel interface to create new aliases. (Some suggest using "catchall" to simplify manual creation of new aliases but that's not workable when spam robots constantly send to new random addresses in your domain.) The cPanel/Dovecot aliases also don't have metadata so you can add details on what the alias is for and when it was created.

Note that other than Mozilla’s Firefox Relay and Apple’s Hide My Email there's also SimpleLogin: https://simplelogin.io/

Also the Bitwarden password manager has an integration for SimpleLogin.

Have you reported it here? https://github.com/simple-login/app/issues

To accomplish this, first create a SimpleLogin acct by logging in with Proton. Once thats done go to https://app.simplelogin.io/developer and create a website. Give it your authentik URL.

Yes, you can also use aliases with your 10 accounts for unlimited addresses and to conceal real addresses. https://simplelogin.io (or apps for iOS/Droid). Owned by proton. Use your proton credentials to login… simple login is included with some plans.

I know about https://simplelogin.io/ and as far as I know it is used under the hood by ProtonMail to implement the functionality.
