In Detail

Why Your Own Mail Server?

No dependency on Gmail, Outlook or other providers. You control your emails, your data and your domains — with state-of-the-art spam filters and end-to-end encryption.

Your own mail server gives you complete control over your email infrastructure. With Mailcow you get a complete mail server suite with web interface that bundles Postfix (SMTP), Dovecot (IMAP/POP3), Rspamd (spam filter), ClamAV (antivirus) and SOGo (webmail & calendar) in Docker containers. Setup takes less than 30 minutes with our root server. Alternatively use iRedMail or a manual Postfix/Dovecot setup for maximum control. The Frankfurt location and our German IP addresses ensure the best email reputation and fast delivery. You set up DKIM, SPF and DMARC yourself and thus control the authenticity of your emails. NVMe SSDs provide fast access to mailboxes even with large inboxes. And the included DDoS protection keeps your mail server reachable even under attack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the most important questions

Is Mailcow difficult to set up?
No. Mailcow uses Docker and has an automatic setup script. On our root server with Docker support, installation takes under 30 minutes. After that you manage everything via a modern web interface — domains, mailboxes, aliases, spam filters.
How do I ensure my emails don't end up in spam?
Set up SPF, DKIM and DMARC for your domain — Mailcow supports this out of the box. Our German IP addresses have good reputation. Additionally we recommend a rDNS entry (PTR record), which we set up for free.
How many mailboxes can I create?
There is no limit. You can create as many domains, mailboxes and aliases as you want. With 4 GB RAM we recommend up to 50 active users, with 8 GB RAM up to 200+.
Is the mail server GDPR-compliant?
Yes. The server is located in Frankfurt, your data stays in Germany and you control which data is stored. No third parties, no cloud dependencies — full GDPR compliance.
