Summary

I suggest to complement the password policy with a password strength estimator like zxcvbn.

Motivation

Consider using zxcvbn as an algorithmic alternative to password composition policy — it is more secure, flexible, and usable when sites require a minimal complexity score in place of annoying rules like "passwords must contain three of {lower, upper, numbers, symbols}".

Additional context

There is a php port that should be relatively easy to be used for the Mailcow password policy. Disadvantages are that the repository includes only a bit outdated, English language dictionaries.
zxcvbn-ts appears to be the most up-to-date, state of the art fork that supports multiple languages, but it's written in typescript, I'm not sure how easy that would be to insert into Mailcow.
