This approach actually leads really neatly onto the last solution I tried, and the one I actually have working: [Mailu][mailu]. This project provides all the same open-source email components (postfix, dovecot), but pre-configured and packaged as [Docker][docker] images. This has a couple of advantages over iRedMail:
* You don't need a fresh Debian install. You only need a working Docker installation.
-* Other system packages will not interfere.
-* It's more easily movable. Since I pushed all my images to docker hub, I just copy over the data directory and the docker-compose file to a new Pi, execute `docker-compose up -d` and it's all back up.
+* You can configure & run other services on the same machine without interference.
+* It's more easily portable: copy over the single /var/lib/mailu directory to another machine, and spin up all the servers again with `docker-compose up` and it's all back up & working again.
+
+The project didn't work out of the box with Raspberry Pi - not all the base images are ARM compatible. This was a pretty easy thing to fix though, and I now maintain a permanent fork of mailu for Raspberry Pi over [here][mailu-rpi]
