Hello, I self host an email server and I am currently using mailcow-dockerized, however I have found their community support to be extremely lackluster, and their software having major annoyances that have either gone unfixed for years or are so specific in scope that going through the song and dance of submitting it to their GitHub using their lengthy bug reporting process isnt worth it (because most of what they ask for is unrelated to the bug I'm reporting)

I want an email server that I can allow my friends and family to use, and that can generate random aliases they can use when signing up for websites or software that can be easily deleted if they no longer use the service or want their spam. I dont have very many requirements other than that one feature, and the software either being stable enough on its own, or the community being nicer around supporting their users.

Thanks in advance.

I feel maybe that's a dovecot issue? Or a spamassassin issue?

In my setup it seems "normal" that spam sent to aliases gets in the "catch all" instead of the mailbox of the user that has that alias. Very infuriating as I had to tune down the spam filter to block only the most obvious spam as false positives get "lost"

Although since 3-4 months ago I didn't receive any misdirected spam in the catch-all mailbox, so it might be that's now it has been fixed (I'm one of those guys that run updates automatically unattended because my hobby is fixing problems when there's a breaking feature after update)
