  • Two of them I've used are erine.email - of which I've only scratched the surface - and its inspiration, which I have used for almost 20 years - spamgourmet - I haven't used the self-hosted version, but it's available.

  • inbucket

    Disposable webmail server (similar to Mailinator) with built in SMTP, POP3, RESTful servers; no DB required.

    This is what you need inbucket

  • free-email-forwarding

    Discontinued Repository archived and moved to monorepo

    I use https://forwardemail.net/ to catch all email addresses from some domains I own, and forward them to one account.

  • Mail-in-a-Box

    Mail-in-a-Box helps individuals take back control of their email by defining a one-click, easy-to-deploy SMTP+everything else server: a mail server in a box.

    Yes I’m using mailinabox. https://mailinabox.email/

  • Haraka

    A fast, highly extensible, and event driven SMTP server

    Haraka (https://haraka.github.io/) is a plugin-based mailserver written in JavaScript. I've messed with postfix before but found Haraka easier because instead of arcane configuration files I can just read, copy, and tweak a plugin to suit my needs. Policies for receiving, storing, forwarding, and ignoring mail can be arbitrarily complex.
