Interesting, I might try that.
Your link seems to be broken, though - is this the right one? https://hub.docker.com/r/mailserver/docker-mailserver

#39Back in the day Safari + uBlock was one hell of an efficient browser on my macbook. I miss those days.

That’s not easy from a technical standpoint.
