I’m back to self-hosting email. My country’s currency is collapsing and money’s tight, so i stopped paying for Tuta.

This time i chose Stalwart - a single Rust-built executable - instead of Mailu’s heavy Docker stack. Mailu ate memory while Stalwart runs light and integrates cleanly with my Caddy reverse proxy. TLS was also a big pain with Mailu, with stalwart it just works.
