  • nixos-mailserver

    Discontinued A complete and Simple Nixos Mailserver

  • I’ve been using this https://github.com/r-raymond/nixos-mailserver for 4 years for my personal mail and I haven’t had a single issue in that time. I think it takes me about the same amount of time as you to maintain but I also have a next cloud server running on the same machine.

  • 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.

  • My main reason to move from Mail-in-a-Box[1] to AWS WorkMail[2] to finally Microsoft Office 365[3] was that there is no other implementation which supports all MS Outlook features like native MS Exchange.

    Are there any (Self-Hosted?) alternatives nowadays?

  • pfelk

    pfSense/OPNsense + Elastic Stack

  • > So many chinese and russians IPs...

    And Korean, and Dutch, I recall significant from Central America.

    For anyone interested in what Geo's appear to be attacking you, and is a noob like me: https://github.com/pfelk/pfelk is really cool.

  • chasquid

    SMTP (email) server with a focus on simplicity, security, and ease of operation [mirror]

  • I run my own mail servers for small projects, though for my main email I've actually switched to ProtonMail.

    It's never been easier to self host your email with projects like the following around:

    - https://foxcpp.dev/maddy/

    - https://github.com/albertito/chasquid

    - https://github.com/haraka/haraka

    Of course the usual dovecot + postfix setup is great for learning even if a bit complicated.

  • Haraka

    A fast, highly extensible, and event driven SMTP server
