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 was going to ask if anyone had experience with Maddy, which is an all-in-one solution I’ve been eyeballing for a while.
Getting DKIM and postfix set up correctly was such a PITA, and then dovecot, I’m nervous about having to go through all that again and fretting about accidentally configuring an open relay, so I haven’t tried it yet. But it looks nice, and has been around for a couple of years.
I’ve been using Maddy for about a year. I haven’t had any complaints, although my use case is very basic (running on bare metal, with just a handful of inboxes). DKIM is never pleasant but the Maddy configuration is straightforward enough.
Thank you. I may try it; postfix seems to give me grief ever other update, like they can’t leave the damned config file alone.
