So I’m migrating stuff from my old server to a new provider and only thing left is email.
The problem is I used luke smith’s emailwiz script ( the script and setup itself isn’t a problem ) because it uses system users for managing users with dovecot and friends to setup a mail server.
So now I’m looking for a new email server to selfhost (preferably docker/podman) that in the future I can easilly migrate.Would also love if somebody has a reccomendation on how I could backuo and import emails from the old server.
NOTE: I use caddy as webserver, so the server should have a simple way on getting ssl certs, or abikity to easilly make use if caddy one’s.

Stalwart is gaining momentum. I haven’t used it, but it’s worth a look. https://stalw.art/
Looks amazing. But the dual licensing scares me. The open variant could be artificially limited in functionality or could end up basic abandon ware.
I’ve never messed with it but I’ve heard mail servers are a pain in the ass.
@muntedcrocodile @crony I used to run Exchange and have had various others for my 2 person house. Sometimes overkill. These days I don’t think I’d bother running mail at home, even on reliable hardware, a decent connection and with a static IP. Hassles with getting on/off blacklists even with all DKIM, SPF etc being in place are things I don’t want to deal with these days.
My incoming mails are a couple of bank notifications, monitoring alerts and notes from schools and sports clubs. A lot of system admin for not much actual use.
I might revisit it once the winter evenings come in.
