Re: [Dorset] Suggestions for distro to run email server and POP3/IMAP.
I was going to suggest, docker is the answer here. You don’t even need a
base distro, as you could just host the docker image of choice on a
container runner such as Amazon or Azure.

I haven't done anything more than install it and test that it can send and receive mail so far, so can't provide a solid recommendation, but you may like to take a look at Docker Mailserver (assuming you're happy to install and work with Docker. Base distro isn't too important so long as it supports an easy Docker install, but I'm running it on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS quite happily. It bundles and provides configuration scripts for Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd, Amavis, Spamassassin, ClamAV, OpenDKIM, OpenDMARC, Fail2ban, Fetchmail, Getmail6, Postscreen and Postgrey with support for LetsEncrypt and SASLauthd with LDAP support. That's largely pulled from the GitHub page. I'm working on replacing my Exim / Dovecot setup with it to see how it goes.

Very wise…. Bluetooth mice and keyboards are nearly always unreliable battery guzzlers.
