Hello, I self host an email server and I am currently using mailcow-dockerized, however I have found their community support to be extremely lackluster, and their software having major annoyances that have either gone unfixed for years or are so specific in scope that going through the song and dance of submitting it to their GitHub using their lengthy bug reporting process isnt worth it (because most of what they ask for is unrelated to the bug I’m reporting)
I want an email server that I can allow my friends and family to use, and that can generate random aliases they can use when signing up for websites or software that can be easily deleted if they no longer use the service or want their spam. I dont have very many requirements other than that one feature, and the software either being stable enough on its own, or the community being nicer around supporting their users.
This looks like a neat project, I just spun up one of their local instances. Unfortunately I’m not seeing the ability for users to be able to generate their own aliases, it looks like an admin-only feature. Although the project does seem young so I’m curious to see where it will go in the future. I may be able to switch in the future If I dont find a better solution soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

I haven’t tried it personally, but Mox looks like a nice modern mailserver. It might do what you want.
