  Beware it’s very heavyweight. My dedicated oldish server with 8gb ram and spinning hdes couldn’t even handle one single domani and a few users…

  Was 6 months ago, tough.

    I had to play with database types, because apparently out of the box setup works only on SSDs (??) And do a bunch of other stuff to improve performance.

    End result was way worse than installing postfix+dovecot+dkim/dmark/etc stuff directly.

    Quite unusable, but the hardware was limited

      True. The default rocksdb is completely unusable on HDDs. For me it runs pretty good with PostgreSQL. Dovecot was certainly easier to handle with its file based storage and was super fast. But Postfix was a pain and I can’t count how often it bit me over the years (and since it’s SMTP, that means something broke in receiving, delivery or was suddenly a spam vector, which all sucks quite hard).

        Rocksdb has tuning options for hard drives, but not sure Stalwart exposed them

    Wow, what a waste!

  I’ve been trying out Stalwart, and it seems to be working good, but it is having problems with IDN that seem to require some weird ways of fixing.

  (more specifically, Stalwart recognizes the punycode and UTF8 versions of domains as separate, which is difficult for some clients like Gmail web to deal with)
