Looks to be an excellent way to deploy an email server.

hopefully it helps to decentralize email services again…

This looks very interesting!
I can see a mox server is my future…
no built-in DNS server and underdeveloped or virtually non-existent subdomain support when we have a public IP address on the router…nothing special in my opinion - please visit GitHub · Where software is built to see that this is still a “young sandbox”
I have a DNS server so do not need one in mox.
Agreed its young software - they make that very clear on the mox web site.
And make a point of saying don;t be surprised if there are bugs.
So I think they are being open with expectation setting.
That it can handle SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, DANE and DNSSEC is what has grabbed my interest.
This is not a rational argument - such a statement is true for all projects published on gihub, or anywhere else.
First of all, what matters is what a given project supposedly offers and has a slanted nickname in its description:
Mox - modern, secure,
all-in-oneemail server
> Stay in control of your email and keep emaildecentralized!
…then the potential user probably really expects simplicity and really counts on “all-in-one” and “decentralized!”.
Whereas:
Complete email solution
For sending and receiving email. With support for IMAP4, SMTP, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MTA-STS, DANE and DNSSEC, reputation-based and content-based junk filtering, Internationalization (IDNA), automatic TLS with ACME and Let’s Encrypt, account autoconfiguration, webmail.
…it really makes an impression and promises to be a “strong competitor” in its class.
In Linux, I am never worried that a software package is not fininshed. I’m more interested in how the package will go in the future and who will contribute to it.
Mox looks very promising and has the financial backing of NLNet, who have funded other needed solutions to very widespread implementation. I’ll be keeping my eye on it
