In professional cycling, the concept of marginal gains became famous through Team Sky. Rather than chasing dramatic breakthroughs, they focused on making hundreds of small improvements: slightly better bike fit, marginally lighter components, improved sleep, cleaner nutrition. None of these changes mattered much on their own, but together they reshaped performance—and helped dominate the sport for years.

Software systems, especially large distributed ones, work much the same way. Rarely does a single feature transform everything overnight. More often, real progress comes from careful attention to small details: shaving latency here, reducing contention there, simplifying a hot path, rethinking a data structure.

Stalwart v0.15 is very much a release in this spirit. It does not introduce a long list of headline features. Instead, it is the result of revisiting core subsystems—spam filtering, search, storage, and data access—and making many targeted improvements that, together, have a significant impact on performance, reliability, and usability.

As we step into 2025, we're excited to share some significant enhancements to Stalwart Mail Server version 0.11.0, starting with a complete overhaul of its built-in spam filter. These changes bring dramatic improvements in speed, ease of use, and flexibility while addressing feedback from our community. Here’s a closer look at what’s new.

We are happy to announce the release of Stalwart Mail Server v0.10.3, which introduces support for AI models —a powerful new feature now available to Enterprise Edition users as well as our GitHub and OpenCollective sponsors. With this feature, Stalwart Mail Server can be integrated with both self-hosted and cloud-based Large Language Models (LLMs), bringing advanced email processing capabilities like never before.

This integration allows you to use AI models for a variety of tasks, including enhanced spam filtering, threat detection, and intelligent email classification. Whether you choose to host your own models with LocalAI or leverage cloud-based services like OpenAI or Anthropic, this release provides the flexibility to incorporate cutting-edge AI into your email infrastructure.

In today's digital age, the safety and authenticity of your emails are paramount. With that in mind, we're happy to announce the release of the Spam and Phishing filter in Stalwart Mail Server v0.4.0. This release is packed with features that not only enhance your email security but also ensure a seamless communication experience.
