Can anyone recommend any self-hosted docker-base SMTP servers? Like this project https://github.com/appwrite/docker-smtp But this is not up to date.

TL;DR
TL;DR: The user is looking for suggestions on a self-hosted SMTP server. One recommendation is Mailu, but the user had issues with spam protection. Another suggestion is Mailgun. The support team recommends using third-party SMTP servers instead of self-hosted ones due to spam labeling by Gmail, Outlook, etc. The user asks for recommendations on self-hosted, docker-based SMTP servers, and someone suggests the appwrite/docker-smtp project, but it is not up to date.

We suggest you use one of the third party ones.

We used to offer a built in SMTP, but self-hosted SMTP services are almost always labelled as spam by Gmail, Outlook, etc.

I used Mailu before as it is docker based, and easy to setup: https://mailu.io/

Buuut I got problems with spam protection and I had to learn A LOT about DNS servers.. And eventually I still got into spam box.. So I just gave up and started using Mailgun.

I wouldn't recommend it tbh, I've never had a good experience. It always gets labeled as spam 😛
