> Composable all-in-one mail server

Maddy Mail Server replaces traditional multi-daemon email stacks with a single Go binary that handles SMTP, IMAP storage, and authentication protocols like DKIM, SPF, and DMARC. It simplifies email operations with unified configuration and minimal maintenance overhead. It runs as a self-hosted daemon natively via CLI or in Docker.
