Modern full-featured open source secure mail server for low-maintenance self-hosted email.
Mox features:
- Quick and easy to start/maintain mail server, for your own domain(s).
- SMTP (with extensions) for receiving and submitting email.
- IMAP4 (with extensions) for giving email clients access to email.
- Automatic TLS with ACME, for use with Let's Encrypt and other CA's.
- SPF, verifying that a remote host is allowed to sent email for a domain.
- DKIM, verifying that a message is signed by the claimed sender domain, and for signing emails sent by mox for others to verify.
- DMARC, for enforcing SPF/DKIM policies set by domains. Incoming DMARC aggregate reports are analyzed.
- Reputation tracking, learning (per user) host- and domain-based reputation from (Non-)Junk email.
- Bayesian spam filtering that learns (per user) from (Non-)Junk email.
- Slowing down senders with no/low reputation or questionable email content (similar to greylisting). Rejected emails are stored in a mailbox called Rejects for a short period, helping with misclassified legitimate synchronous signup/login/transactional emails.
- Internationalized email, with unicode names in domains and usernames ("localparts").
- TLSRPT, parsing reports about TLS usage and issues.
- MTA-STS, for ensuring TLS is used whenever it is required. Both serving of policies, and tracking and applying policies of remote servers.
- Web admin interface that helps you set up your domains and accounts (instructions to create DNS records, configure SPF/DKIM/DMARC/TLSRPT/MTA-STS), for status information, managing accounts/domains, and modifying the configuration file.
- Autodiscovery (with SRV records, Microsoft-style and Thunderbird-style) for easy account setup (though not many clients support it).
- Prometheus metrics and structured logging for operational insight.
