Self-hosted email infrastructure for teams who want off the per-email and per-seat treadmill. Vectis Mail packages Postfix, Dovecot and Rspamd behind one declarative YAML config, a REST send API and an admin UI, and configures deliverability (DKIM/SPF/DMARC), TLS, webmail, backups and monitoring for you. Run it on your own VPS so mailbox data stays on infrastructure you control. Atomic updates with rollback mean upgrades are safe. Flat pricing: free to self-host, Pro $39/month, Enterprise from $499/month. Source-available (BSL 1.1 → Apache-2.0 after 4 years).

Vectis Mail's answer:
If you want to own your email without becoming a full-time mail-server admin, Vectis sits between raw self-hosted stacks (mailcow, iRedMail, Mail-in-a-Box) and hosted mailboxes/APIs (Google Workspace, SendGrid). You get a SendGrid-style send API and full mailboxes in one system, deliverability and TLS configured for you, reversible updates from the UI, and flat pricing regardless of volume — no per-seat or per-email fees — with your data never leaving your server.
Vectis Mail's answer:
Vectis Mail runs a full production email stack — Postfix, Dovecot and Rspamd — from a single declarative YAML config, orchestrated by one Go binary. Most self-hosted options make you wire those pieces together and maintain them; hosted providers keep your data on their infrastructure. Vectis gives you the whole server on infrastructure you control, with a REST send API, an admin UI, and atomic updates that plan, apply and roll back — so an upgrade or a bad edit never leaves a half-configured mail server.
Vectis Mail's answer:
Developers, technical founders, agencies and small IT teams who run their own infrastructure and want control over their email — for data sovereignty and privacy, to escape per-email pricing, or to send transactional mail and host mailboxes without stitching a mail stack together by hand. Typically people comfortable with a Linux VPS and Docker.
Vectis Mail's answer:
Vectis Mail is built by Veltara Works, an Australian software company. It came out of the frustration of choosing between hosted email — hand over your data, pay per seat or per email — and raw self-hosted stacks, where you assemble and babysit Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd, DNS and TLS yourself. Vectis packages that stack behind one declarative config and a modern operator surface, so owning your email doesn't mean becoming a mail-server specialist.
Vectis Mail's answer:
Go (control plane / orchestrator and REST API), Postfix (SMTP), Dovecot (IMAP/POP3/LMTP), Rspamd (spam filtering + DKIM signing), Roundcube (webmail), PostgreSQL (data), Traefik + acme.sh (automatic TLS), Docker (packaging and deployment), and Prometheus / Grafana / Loki (monitoring). Admin UI in React + TypeScript.
