Which Tools do you use for Mail filtering? (alien.top)

Hi Folks,

it may or may not be directly related to a self hosted solution since as former IT Sysadmin I am aware of issues when it comes down to self hosted email solutions but for a group with privacy and custom solutions in mind I feel like this would still be the place to ask my question.

I really do like what gmail does with it´s pre-filter logic and classification for ads, social and default emails but I would like to move things away from google and others.

What I am searching for would be a tool to, similiar as google, pre-filters and oragnizes my emails.
I do not search for a E-Mail provider which provides this toolset with a inbox since I do want to use my own domain name(s).
A WebUI to read and write emails would be nice to have but I would also be fine with forwarding to a email client.

Self Hosted would obviously be prefered but I would not mind either if it is a (paid) online service.

What do you guys use for this kind of scenario? What could you recomment?

Thanks for your insights!

I think what you are asking for are server side email filters.

The most common implementation is Sieve, which is supported by Dovecot, Cyrus, and Stalwart IMAP servers (and probably others I'm not aware of). There are a variety of clients that support it, including Thunderbird and Roundcube.
