Announcement: SMTP Server in Rust with DMARC, DANE, MTA-STS, Sieve, OTEL support
PS: I hope that we selfhosters will have a modern, efficient, easy to use mail suite one day with modern features like JMAP, good self-learning spam integration, automated checks and validations for SPF/DMARC/DKIM or whether the IP/host suddenly appears in a blocklist and integrated encryption at rest for emails. Something that isn't 30 services in a container image, with 30 different configuration styles. Maybe even with an API integrated that's compatible to the ProtonMail frontend (like the neutron server once intended to be). Anyway, I'm sorry for dreaming. ;)

Has anyone tried to self-host the Proton stack as a redundancy?
A bit related: there was a FOSS backend once but I don't think anyone wants to push further.
-
What kind of open source self-hosted solution is needed in your industry?
Some folks once started neutron which is an email server that can be used with the FOSS Protonmail web client but it was abandoned. And I guess you'd want to support JMAP in addition to IMAP as well apart from having automated encryption of incoming plain-text emails.
-
Self-hosted end-to-end encrypted email service?
Anyway, to the topic: there was once neutron which is a server that aimed at ProtonMail compatibility. So that'd would simply would be able to use the same open source frontend from ProtonMail. However, this was abandoned. So you, or somebody else, could revive it.
-
Self-hosted email server on VPS instances - how do you guys encrypt your stuff to avoid email contents being scanned by your VPS vendors?
Some folks also started implementing an FOSS ProtonMail but this project was abandoned at some point. But maybe someone will fork and revive it one day.
-
What's the biggest missing piece of the puzzle in the self-hosted universe?
Two devs once started implementing a free ProtonMail server but they abandoned it. It's understandable, since it's a lot of work.
-
Writing an open source mail server from scratch: what are the most import features for a self-hosted mail server?
Some folks once started a free implementation of the Protonmail backend in Go. Maybe you want to revive it?
-
Am I crazy or is it completely fucking insane to use a hosted email provider?
Some folks also started an open source Protonmail backend but this was abandoned at one point.
