Free mail server to replace Dovecot and Postfix


Hi, I'm using Dovecot and Postfix as a mail server at the moment and I want to find something to replace them both, offering a web front end and ease of management and useability. For example, I still can't imagine myself installing Sieve just to do filtering and mail rules.

I tried searching online but don't know which one has is the better product to go with. I don't mind paying say $200 - $300 for a commercial product but all of the commercial ones I have seen have a cap on the number of users. Any suggestions?

Hi,

You can try zimbra. There is a community edition that is free to use and a network edition that is commercial

Hi, thanks. Yes I came across it during my search as well and love it. But the problem is as per the following comparison page shows, the open source edition appears to be lacking major features such as mail indexing, and Outlook sync. Any other good ones to consider also?
