How to choose

Start with the job: newsletters to subscribers, transactional mail from your app, or real mailboxes for your own domain. For newsletters, listmonk is a single Go binary backed by PostgreSQL. For sending from an application, Postal is a self-hosted alternative to SendGrid and Mailgun. For mailboxes, mailcow-dockerized bundles Postfix, Dovecot and Rspamd behind a web admin UI, so decide how much server setup you accept.
