I have a small business that needed a self hosted mail server.

I’ve already planned for this server to be hosted on a VPS, and I already have a domain name. Now I just need a mail server that do what I need.

I need it to have:

- A web interface

- Be able to easily create new accounts/users from the web interface

- Be able to create account/user without having to create a user on the server itself (optional)

I’ve been looking into PostFix, Mailcow and Mail-in-a-box, but I’m not quite sure about them.

Thanks a bunch.

Mail-in-a-box is pretty good. I deployed it at a previous company and it’s working fine.

Do you want to spend all your time managing your email server? 'Cause this is how you get to that point.

You bought a domain and website? Use the cheapo email service that come with one of those vendors ….

There is pretty much no reason to roll your own these days.
