Good mail server for selfhosting (lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz)

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 use OpenSMTPD for mail delivery, dovecot for IMAP, fdm for filtering and some tool I forget the name of for DKIM signing.

To bulk move mail around, just move the maildirs.

After 20+ years of hosting my email in a similar way (postfix...) I decoded to explore the "all in ones" like stalwart and mailcow.

Stalwart looks promising because its a new approach, supposedly more streamlined and efficient. Will post back in a few months.

I am not worried about stalwart dual license, the overall feeling seems to be of trust.
