Self-hosted email marketing and mail server platform
Open-source mail server and email marketing solution for newsletters, campaigns, and transactional emails. Self-hosted with advanced analytics, unlimited sending, and full data control.

BillionMail is a self-hosted mail server and email marketing platform that gives businesses and developers complete control over their email operations. Built for organizations tired of expensive SaaS platforms and vendor lock-in, it combines a full-featured mail server (Postfix, Dovecot, Rspamd) with campaign management tools for newsletters, promotional emails, and transactional messaging.
Installation takes approximately 8 minutes via shell script or Docker. The platform includes domain verification workflows, automatic SSL provisioning, and integrated RoundCube webmail. Advanced analytics track delivery rates, opens, and click-throughs while customizable templates streamline campaign creation. Customer management features and list segmentation with tags enable targeted messaging at any scale.
As a self-hosted solution, BillionMail ensures your subscriber data and email content remain on your infrastructure. No third-party tracking, no per-email pricing, and no artificial sending limits. The AGPL-3.0 license guarantees transparency and community ownership. Ideal for developers, marketing teams, and organizations requiring email sovereignty alongside professional campaign capabilities.
When teams consider BillionMail, these hosted platforms usually appear on the same shortlist.
