Solved Email server options

@FATeknollogee
Well, there is a difference between 10-40 ms and 90 ms
The Atlantic ocean is somewhat big -
@FATeknollogee the test account you have is in Germany. Did you even notice any lag?

I haven't tried to "attach" any sizeable files yet.
-
btw, is this all mailcow: dockerized?

@Curtis
You know, I could just edit my offer and remove location. Then we could concentrate on hijacking the OP -
@FATeknollogee we will have to test it

Yes
well, well...let @scottalanmiller comment on "dockerized". I don't know enough to speak about it.

We used to run our Zimbra from Paris.

Just a quick question, you already transitioned to Google for spam filtering, why have you discounted the GSuite option? GSuite for business might be something to consider, it would give you more options with the office type suite even if it is not used much it is still there.

AFAIK, he only needs mailboxes. That is a 6$ am month per user thing anyways. Office suite with email is double that.

We have not transitioned to Google for Spam filtering. They purchased our Spam filtering provider and transitioned us.
It is a horrible, unmanageable solution in the current form. Google obviously does not want former Postini customers to continue being customers unless they switch to full GSuite. Last I knew, you cannot even buy this solution. Only converted Postini customers get it.
GSuite is, as mentioned, not on the table. I do not want an office package. I want an email solution.

@FATeknollogee
Yes, it is.It is to me and my use case. The solution is a docker setup of production open source components (postfix, dovecot, rspamd, SOGo, etc.) and a PHP based control panel. Updated via git.
I started using it just after they moved to Docker. At the time the other contender was Zimbra Community but I went for mailcow: dockerized and I do not regret it.
Full disclosure: I use it to host both internal and customer's mailboxes but that is not my primary line of business. -

@Curtis @dave_c Is mailcow:dockerized considered production ready?
that's a question for the end users, not the company. Asking the wrong party will always give you weird answers.

He didn't, he got stuck with the as the company he chose was bought by them.

@FATeknollogee Found this in their GitHub "We require Docker because that makes it a lot easier to handle updates and make the installations much more reproducible. Since Docker is the de-factor standard nowadays, we see no reason to change it. Maintaining both a dockerized and a plain Mailcow would be quite a lot of work."
That might be a show stopper for us. Given that their dev team isn't full time, and Docker puts the onus of support on the dev team primarily, this is a huge problem. Looks like there was an older version that wasn't so limited, but they've pulled back. This sounds to me like a dev team thinking about dev needs and ignoring production needs. That's up to them, but it a huge concern for us.
It used to be mailcow and mailcow:dockerized now the "production" option is gone. As is the full time team behind it
