Mailez, the One-Binary Mail Stack
A Chinese self-hosted email platform that combines webmail, administration, and standard mail protocols in a single deployable system.
Field notes
Mailez consolidates webmail, administration, and mail transport into a system the page says can be started with an installation script or Docker deployment. Its community edition is described as using Pebble KV, local filesystem storage, and SQLite, while the enterprise path switches to TiDB and MinIO/S3-style storage for distributed operation. The homepage also publishes a concrete comparison against Postfix and Dovecot, reporting 13.6 versus 3.1 messages per second for receiving throughput under its stated test model.
