Personal email infrastructure
My projects.
Their messages.
One outbox.
A private email service I’m building for my own applications. A single place to send useful messages and see what happens after they leave.
About the projectTo someone expecting it.
Transactional messages & opt-in updates
A small, useful
piece of the stack.
Mailserver connects my applications to Amazon Simple Email Service (SES). Its sending API, durable queue and delivery feedback are working, with live delivery tested. This is a personal development project, with no public signup or third-party sending access.
Triggered by a real action.
The intended uses include account verification, password resets, receipts and notifications that people request in my applications.
Updates people choose.
Newsletters are planned for people who explicitly subscribe. Public subscription and unsubscribe flows must be available before any live newsletter list is enabled.
Permission comes first.
The service is designed for expected email. Sending is limited to my own authenticated projects and verified sender domains.
Only expected messages
Transactional email follows a recipient’s action or requested service. Newsletter recipients must opt in. Purchased, scraped and third-party prospect lists are not part of this project.
Feedback changes sending
Delivery, bounce and complaint events return to the application. A permanent bounce or spam complaint automatically blocks further email to that address.
A clear way to stop
Every future newsletter must include a working unsubscribe link. For a question about a message, use the contact channel of the application that sent it.
A note on privacy.
This information site has no signup form, advertising or analytics scripts, and does not set application cookies. Cloudflare hosts the site and processes request data to deliver and secure it.
The private sending application processes recipient addresses, message content and delivery events to send requested email and handle failures. Amazon SES delivers messages; AWS messaging services return delivery feedback. Access to the application is restricted to its operator.
Specific applications using Mailserver are responsible for explaining their own data practices and recipient preferences. This page describes the infrastructure project, not a public email service.
