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 have started testing out stalwart, seems pretty nice, bit way too early to give you reasonable feedback.

If you are looking for an innovative approach to email server stalwart is the new boss in town.

If you want proven and stable, mailcow might be your easy choice.

Both can be deployed with containers, I did with podman.
