Stalwart is a modern, self-contained email server designed to run a complete mail stack (sending, receiving, and mailbox access) with strong security controls and built-in filtering. It aims to simplify operating mail infrastructure by bundling protocols, authentication, policy, and anti-abuse features into a single service with an administrative UI.

Key Features:

  • Supports core mail access and transport protocols including SMTP and IMAP, with JMAP support for modern clients
  • Built-in anti-spam and policy enforcement with rules, reputation controls, and content filtering
  • Email authentication features such as DKIM signing and DMARC/SPF evaluation to improve deliverability and prevent spoofing
  • Flexible message routing, domain/user management, and multi-domain support for organizations
  • Web-based administration interface for configuration and operational management
  • TLS support and modern security defaults oriented toward safer deployments

Use Cases:

  • Run a private email service for a personal domain or small organization
  • Replace a hosted mailbox provider while keeping control of deliverability and anti-spam
  • Operate multi-tenant email for multiple domains with centralized management

Stalwart provides a cohesive, security-focused approach to running email by combining protocols, filtering, and administration in one package. It is well-suited for operators who want a modern mail stack with fewer external components to integrate and maintain.
