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.
I miss the old days, before you had to worry about spam.
I’m not OP, and I have everything set up fine now; Mailcow would replace what I currently have with the same software components, so I don’t see any value there - for myself.
Something like Maddy is completely at odds with the Unix philosophy, and yet I’ve fought enough with postfix to dislike it enough to want to try an all-in-one. I dread the DKIM setup, though; that took so much time, and the mail server configuration wasn’t the hard part. Maybe now I’ve got it configured for my domains, switching email server software will be easier.
Mailcow was effortless and I’ve never had to intervene in the stack. And after 20 years of fighting postfix and dovecot, that was a pleasant change. I can see why you’d want to try something different, but don’t expect it to be easy.
