I'm about to rebuild my server farm, and am looking for a self-hosted #email solution built with #docker containers. So far I found Mailu, Poste.io, and docker-mailserver, and mailcow.

Anyone has experience with either of these, or any other recommendation?

(Desirable features in the followup toot)
At the moment, I'm running a postfix+dovecot+rspamd combo on a dedicated server, I'd like to push that into a container. I have three domains, all of them have a $catchall@$user.$domain setup, where $catchall@$user goes to $user+$catchall@$domain. This is a must have, and configuring each alias separately is not an option, must be catch-all, but discoverable on the receiving end.

I need to send mail through a relay (sendgrind). Sieve is important, but not essential.

Host is Debian.
btw recently there is a large inflow of spam containing random text from the internet to screw up bayesian-based filters. I wonder how's spamassassin vs. rspamd standing. 🙂
I have no clue, I haven't used SA in like 10 years at least. My main email goes through rpsamd, and there's very little spam that gets through (like 1-2 a month). But then my email traffic is pretty low, too.
Nope; I hate docker! 😁
Not a fan, either, but I need a whole lot of stuff that isn't packaged, and running them directly on the host is not practical.

I mean, I could, but it would be a lot of work, and it's just not worth it.
not blaming ya. 😉
