Comprehensive Feature Set
Mailcow offers a wide range of features including an easy-to-use web interface, spam filtering, virus protection, calendar and contact synchronization, and more. It is an all-in-one solution for managing email services.
Open Source
Being open source, Mailcow allows users to audit the code, customize it to their needs, and contribute to its improvement. This provides more control and transparency compared to proprietary solutions.
Docker-based Deployment
Mailcow uses Docker containers for its various services, making it easier to deploy, scale, and maintain. Docker containers also help isolate services, enhancing security and performance.
Active Community and Support
Mailcow has an active community and good documentation, which can be very helpful for troubleshooting and getting the most out of the system. Community support often compensates for the lack of formal customer service.
Security Features
Mailcow includes many built-in security features such as Let’s Encrypt SSL, DKIM, DMARC support, and automatic updates, ensuring a secure email environment.
You could go with https://mailcow.email, it’s pretty easy to setup and keep up to date.

> Which different provider did you go with? I actually fell back to Gmail for the time being – I just don’t like to “advertise” any Google product for known reasons, even though Gmail is a quite solid product, sorry about the confusion – but that’s my temporary solution. I am planning to either give Migadu a try or host my own mail provider. (I have seen some good feedback about https://mailcow.email).

You can self host email if you really want to, but it’s really more trouble than it’s worth. If you do self host, you have to worry about the consequences of missed emails if your server or Internet ever goes down, and you’ll have to use someone else’s SMTP server if you don’t want your emails to go directly to spam. The cheapest good SMTP server is Amazon SES, which I believe is $0.10 per 10k emails. I’ve been…

However, https://mailcow.email/ is the ONLY exclusion I make for that. As it’s an all in one docker managed solution. Where the only things you have to worry about is the reputation of your mailing IP.

But its probably easier to use a dockerized container with all the mail stuff integrated and pre-setup like: https://mailcow.email/.

What is it all about with mailcow.email and access to docker socket? Does mailcow require access to it? Why? And how it is bad?

Or, you can keep your VPS running 24/7, with mailcow.email for your emails, immich.app for your photos, nextcloud for your calendar and contacts. Use a second SMTP relay as a backup, they will receive your emails if your main SMTP is down for more than one week, which is the procedure.

I’m telling you that you could setup a host in my cluster and it will work though (would need to setup a mail proxy though as I currently operate). I operate from centurylink (Although there’s new fiber being run in my neighborhood and hot damn am I so happy, so my provider might change). And I operate mailcow (https://mailcow.email/).

For a self-hosted option you could take a look at https://mailcow.email. I think I saw some way to connect it with NextCloud, but I don’t use it, so not sure.

Not sure why anyone hasn’t mentioned MailCow yet… I would advise against self-hosting your mail server for several reasons (I do it) but if you are going to regardless; I think this is you best option. Only took me ~45 mins start to finish.

I’m selfhosting my own website and apps for some time now but I’m still a beginner. Yesterday I’ve deployed mail server and webmail services using mailcow-dockerized (https://mailcow.email/). Everything works and seems right. But today after I loged in and tried to access calendar in my webmail (SoGo) deceptive site warning appeared. I don’t know what is wrong I have 2FA with OTP, full SSL etc. Google console…
