I need to run my own email server for some of my domains, because the providers that I usually use don’t support them (they use Unicode characters, and not everyone supports that yet). I have a small VPS that I run a few Docker containers on, and I’m wanting to try and run an email server on it as well. What containers are good for a low-hassle email setup? I don’t need a mailbox webui (ex: round cube), but it would be nice to have a UI for management. I do need multi-domain support, however.

    I’ve been running my own email server for 15+ years. One year ago I needed to change VPS providers and thus get a totally different IP. I worried about this a bit, but actually had no issues whatsoever. Of course, I wasn’t starting completely from scratch as I had the same domain, all my personal experience, and a battle-tested configuration for docker-mailserver. But yeah, the lack of IP reputation itself didn’t seem to be an issue at all. Maybe I got lucky. Or maybe it’s because I chose a relatively small Canadian VPS provider rather than one of the global cloud giants (I assume their IP address space gets pretty trashed with scammers).
