Thanks, and I happen to already be aware of it. It doesn't have any of that. And it's more complicated to hook it into other things, since the good old postfix is the default case and well-trodden path. I think I'll try Stalwart anyways. It's a bit of a risk, though. Since it's a small project with few developers and the future isn't 100% certain. And I have to learn all the glue in between the mailserver stuff, since there aren't any tutorials out there. But both the frontend, and the configuration and setup seem to make sense.
If you need to hook it up to other stuff (where there is a solution using postfix), it's probably easier to stick with postfix. As an all-in-one mail server I prefer stalwart over docker-mailserver, mailcow, etc. because it's one unified software with sensible configuration instead of a clusterfuck of services put together using string and duckt tape.
