Simple NixOS Mailserver
Complete mailserver solution leveraging the Nix Ecosystem.
Developed outside the platforms our data source measures, so there is no activity history to score. This says nothing about the project — many unrated projects are actively maintained.

Is Simple NixOS Mailserver actively maintained?
We cannot measure this one. Simple NixOS Mailserver is developed outside the platforms our data source collects activity from, and its repository lives at gitlab.com — so there is no commit history or release cadence here to score.
Read that as missing data, not as a warning. Several of the best-maintained projects in this catalogue are unrated for exactly this reason. To judge it, open the repository and look at the date of the most recent commit yourself.
What Simple NixOS Mailserver actually does
Simple NixOS Mailserver is a complete mailserver solution built using the Nix ecosystem. It provides the necessary components to handle inbound and outbound email infrastructure on your own hardware.
Best fit: Administrators who already manage their infrastructure using NixOS and want an integrated approach to mail services.
Worth knowing: The latest tagged release dates back to late 2019 and recent commit activity is minimal, indicating potential maintenance stagnation.
Deployment notes
Configuration relies entirely on the Nix ecosystem, and you will typically need to ensure persistent storage is properly mapped for your mail spools and databases.
