Hi Ralph,

I'm looking to set up a virtual server to send and receive email for a domain name and store the email for pick-up by users over POP3 and IMAP. Normally, I'd go for Debian and then configure Exim, Dovecot and others to provide a Let's Encrypt TLS certificate, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, SpamAssassin,
etc.  It's a long list of things to configure, test, and debug.

But I was wondering if there's a turn-key off-the-shelf distro which
makes this simpler.  I'm not bothered about a GUI or web configuration
interface.  And it doesn't have to be Linux; I know FreeBSD is quite
popular in this area, historically because of ZFS.

Could you look at the docker image repo and see what base distros are used for email servers?

[ but with your search finesse? ]
