Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a license to use Vectis Mail?
The Starter tier is free forever with no license required. Pro is licensed through ValidonX, our licensing and billing platform.
What happens if my Pro license expires?
Your mail server keeps running and all core mail delivery (Postfix, Dovecot) continues working. If a payment fails, Pro features keep working through a 21-day grace window while we retry; after that, Pro features (analytics, advanced spam controls, OIDC SSO, unlimited domains and mailboxes) revert to Starter limits but your data is never locked.
Can I self-host without any external dependencies?
Yes. The Starter tier works fully offline. Pro checks ValidonX for entitlements and keeps working offline through your current paid period if ValidonX is temporarily unreachable, with entitlements cached in Postgres.
What server do I need?
Minimum: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 40 GB SSD, Ubuntu 22.04+. Recommended for production: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 100 GB SSD. Any VPS provider works.
Can I resell Vectis Mail as a hosted service?
No. Vectis Mail is licensed under the Business Source License 1.1. You may run it for your own organisation and your own end users — including operating mail for customers of your organisation. You may not offer Vectis Mail itself to third parties on a hosted, embedded, or managed-service basis in a way that competes with Veltara Works's paid version(s). For resale or hosted-platform licensing arrangements, contact [email protected].
When does Vectis Mail become Apache 2.0?
Each version of Vectis Mail converts to Apache License 2.0 four years after that version's first public release — not a single repo-wide flip. For example, v0.1.0-beta1 (released 2026-04-25) converts on 2030-04-25; v0.1.12 (released 2026-05-10) converts on 2030-05-10. Source is available throughout, and once a version reaches its Change Date, anyone can fork, host, or relicense that specific version under Apache 2.0.
