OpenSMTPD Is The Mail Server For The Future

Good for OpenBSD. But OpenSMTPD is still written in C. I much prefer newer, safer alternatives like Mox, Stalwart or Maddy.

Last time I tried using it the experience was really good... if you're an ops person who likes to edit config files on the CLI.

Which of course I am, but for email and because I have non-technical family, I need webmail and if I (and they) can quickly configure some stuff that is close to mandatory. Unfortunately I've not seen any real quality of life tooling here, esp regarding mail filter rules.

So yeah. it comes down to laziness to a degree but unlike a webserver I do care about the added fluff for my mail server setup (and in this case I am using the wider definition of smtp, imap, spam stuff). Also I'm kind of a huge fan of postfix and I'm not sure opensmtpd has a huge lead here.
