Colossus — Self-Hosted Email Marketing

Colossus is a self-hosted email marketing solution built with Django and Python. It provides a full newsletter and campaign management workflow — subscriber import and management, HTML/text campaign authoring, list segmentation, automated open and click tracking, unsubscribe handling, and per-campaign analytics — all under the MIT license with no per-email fees.

Key Features

  • Subscriber management: import CSV, double opt-in, unsubscribe workflows
  • Campaign builder: HTML editor + plain-text fallback
  • Segment subscribers by tag or custom attribute for targeted campaigns
  • Open and click tracking with campaign-level analytics
  • SMTP relay support (SendGrid, Mailgun, SES, self-hosted Postfix)
  • Django admin for full database management

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/vitorfs/colossus
cd colossus
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py runserver

Open http://localhost:8000/accounts/login/ and log in to create your first email list and campaign.

✓ no compromise signals30 risk-surface · 10/20 OWASP controls flagged

Compromise signals — malicious or tampered code (leaked secrets, backdoors, a dropped executable) — reduce the score, and known dependency CVEs carry a bounded penalty (they warrant review but never QUARANTINE — update the dependency to clear). Other dangerous-by-capability traits are risk surface, expected for some capabilities. Every finding is mapped to its OWASP control below.

Findings mapped to the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications (2025) and the OWASP Machine Learning Security Top 10. Expand any flagged control for the exact findings — compromise reduces the score; expected/risk-surface do not, except a known CVE, which carries a small bounded penalty (high/critical → Review).
