Deploy a Gmail-like email server in 30 (ish) minutes

You can't replicate Gmail, but with Mailcow I've gotta say the whole process is pretty seamless. You can throw it onto a 5 euro VPS at Contabo, run docker-compose up and be done. Just regularly run the update and backup scripts to make sure you're up to date but that's it, really.

Exchange ActiveSync, multi domain + multi aliases with catchalls, (temporary) aliases, mail delivery rules, TLS requirements, you name it, all configurable in the web UI. There's even a built in DNS checking tool to verify that all the necessary records are set up right.

I'm using mailcow for year and a half now, moved to it from Kolab. It's really great and painless to manage it. The only thing missing for me is the LDAP auth, something I got used to over the years with Kolab. The OP's solutions has built-in LDAP auth, so I'll give it a try.

I concur, a very well crafted and maintained project.

I’ll take a look into this ta - the only thing really lacking in this setup is a UI for webmail or admin
