Copied from r/selfhosted as seems interesting enough to share with wider audience.
I’m excited to announce the release of Stalwart Mail Server, a single binary solution that combines the Stalwart JMAP, Stalwart IMAP, and Stalwart SMTP servers into one easy-to-install package.
In response to user feedback, some key enhancements were made. Stalwart Mail Server now supports LDAP and SQL authentication, providing seamless integration with your existing infrastructure.
For single node setups, RocksDB has been replaced with SQLite with the option of using LiteStream for replication. For larger, distributed setups, support for FoundationDB was added, letting you scale to millions of users without sacrificing performance. Additionally, it is now also possible to store your emails in an S3-compatible storage solution such as MinIO, Amazon S3, or Google Cloud Storage.
Other notable updates include support for disk quota, subaddressing (or plus addressing) and catch-all addresses.

I look forward to your feedback and questions!
Wow!
I was searching exactly for this! I wanted to run a mail server for fun between a few users (Delta chat) but I didn’t want to have a full VM dedicated to that, just a docker
I’ve been playing with DeltaChat a little bit. How do you like it? Have you found any problems with it? Curious about any experiences …
Didn’t really use it, as I think there’s too much overhead and if used as intended it counts as abuse on a free email account (too many messages sent/received in a burst) - that’s why I wanted to self host that mailboxes

What the hell is JMAP anyway? Never heard ofAnother new alternative to IMAP. Can be read here.Ok, so JMAP is an E-Mail API, replacing proprietary solutions like Gmail’s(?). But for what? What does it do/solve?
People’s apparent desire to put JSON into everything? ;)
Unfair. JMAP is a official IETF RFC, a working standard powering a very large mail email service, a modern, open move towards a sort of open ActiveSync.
Fastmail has done a lot of work on this, for free, and no one has a better suggestion, so it’s the state of the art.
Looking into it a bit more, it does seem like a considerable improvement over IMAP and *DAV (especially *DAV). Maybe I was too quick to write it off. Might test it out
I am placing
careful(nevermind that, this seems very nice) interest in this.Few questions (since I’m on mobile, and it’ll take me a while to get back to my computer to find out for myself):
- How does managing sieve work with this?
- Does it play along with rspamd?
- Is it tested on
x64_64only? - Does it support PGP, can email be encrypted-at-rest using this?
- Is there a way to run this behind a reverse proxy that handles the certificates? I’m not too keen on dealing with two separate sets of those in separate places.
- Does this require LDAP?
If missing, are those on roadmap?
It sais in the readme that LDAP and SQL based auth is supported.
The author is actively answering questions on the Reddit thread, probably best to ask them.
It has sieve support and rspamd/spamd are supported via filters. It doesn’t require ldap. PGP doesn’t require any server support so that should work fine. I haven’t seen anything about supporting encryption at rest.
