Comment on Good mail server for selfhosting

It’s a bit unconventional maybe, but I vote simple-nixos-mailserver
- IF you are curious / willing to learn nix. It’s essentially just sanely configured dovecot, postfix, rspamd.
My config for those three combined is about 15 lines, and I have never had an issue with them. Also on another 5-10 lines for Roundcube as a webmail client.
Since it’s Nix, everything is declarative, so should SOMETHING happen to the server, you can be up and running again super quickly, with the exact same setup.

I use nixos on my desktop, the server is a debian one but might be good to install nix on it.

In that case I can really highly recommend it. Nixos on the server is fantastic anyways, and the only hurdle to recommending simple-nixos-mailserver is that most people are not familiar with nix… 😄
