Mailu Email Server Deployment

Self-Hosted Mail Server with Docker – Fast, Secure, Production-Ready

Mailu is an open-source, Docker-based email server that allows you to run your own mail infrastructure with full control over data, security, and deliverability. With TryDirect, you get a fully configured Mailu deployment without the complexity of manual setup, long debugging sessions, or risky misconfigurations.

This service is designed for businesses that want to move away from Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, reduce recurring costs, or meet strict data protection and compliance requirements.

What Is Mailu?

Mailu is a modern, containerized mail server stack built on proven open-source components. It combines everything required for a reliable email system into a single, manageable deployment:

• SMTP server for sending mail
• IMAP/POP3 server for mailbox access
• Webmail interface (Roundcube or SnappyMail)
• Anti-spam and antivirus protection
• DKIM, SPF, and DMARC support
• Admin panel for managing domains and users

Unlike traditional mail server setups, Mailu runs entirely in Docker containers, making it predictable, scalable, and easier to maintain.

Why Choose a Self-Hosted Mail Server?

Many companies rely on third-party email providers without realizing the risks:

• Account suspension without warning
• Limited control over deliverability
• Growing monthly costs per user
• Data stored outside your jurisdiction

A self-hosted Mailu server gives you:

• Full ownership of your email data
• Control over security and compliance
• Independence from vendor policies
• A stable foundation for transactional and business email

This is especially important for startups, SaaS companies, hosting providers, and privacy-focused organizations.
