I was looking for a groupware solution that was using Postfix and Dovecot in the backend, since I wanted to get away from proprietary solutions. I had to be free of charge if I'm willing to do certain tasks myself, since it's only used for non-commercial purposes and my budget isn't big enough for anything costly.

I've been using Zarafa before, but since they changed their product to "Kopano" and won't provide *.deb-files anymore (and compiling from source isn't really documented at all), I first tried building my own solution using docker. It worked reasonably well, but lacked good user-management without tinkering a lot in SQL-databases myself.

After I installed SOGo as a front-end myself and researching some configuration specifics, I stumbled upon iRedMail, and it offers everything I need. So, I scratched my docker-solution and, since my server was pretty clean anyway, gave this a go.

Installation went smoothly and the customization options you have are perfect for me. Also, this software seems pretty actively maintained and has an active community around it, and that was also something I was looking for. Since it comes pre-packaged with SOGo for all my ActiveSync-needs out of the box, it was a perfect fit.

Thanks to ZhangHuangbin and team, well done and I'm looking forward to learning more about this package and keeping it up and running for a long time.

Obviously, all who are interested in good business should use email marketing. On our project - https://greatpaper.co.uk/ we also use e-marketing to ensure maximum engagement of our customers and get more orders, and iRedMail perfectly copes with these tasks.  Thanks to the proper planning of our marketing companies, we achieve excellent results through email marketing
Good luck, Benjamin!

Easy to deploy, with the trust that the package has everhting you need. Like a modern mailsystem.

dovecot and Postfix are pretty basic, like e-mail. Now a days you need much more then a basic mail system. There is to much other crap that is flying around the internet and it is hard to keep up if this is not your daily business.

Also it is pretty stable and there is a lot of information available because is all open source. iRedMail combines all the necessary open source programs.

This makes iRedMail pretty handy!

I wanted to setup my own Mail Server was a project at first but i have a homelab and wanted to setup my own Server running Ubuntu Server 16.04 in a VM.

1 Easy to setup although i have tried other methods.

2 UI looks great although i use Roundcube and a App on my phone called K9 Mail i create users via MariaDB.

3 Get to choose which Web Server to use i choose nginx.

4 Get to chose which database to use i went with MariaDB.

5 Comes with Spamassassin and ClaimAV which is great.

Its grate to deploy whether you're in a Business or a Homelab.

One thing i wlll mention tho is that to fix delayed mail you require to remove Greylisting in /opt/iredapd/settings.py.

Overall im happy to have my own Mail Server up and running. Great Project.

Happy Server Life.

Mainly for this:

1)    Easy and fast to deploy without pain? Yes its very fast

2)    Full-featured? yes, i can apply all i need

3)    Stable? I am a new user, but I will test with +600 users

I used to run my own email server about 20 years ago and now I have the chance to do it again. One feature of iRedMail that interests me is that it uses LDAP, which I could access for other websites I want to setup. I tried installing iRedMail and it was extremely easy; the hardest part was gettng the DNS configured properly and even that wasn't too hard.

This is my first foray into running my own email server, read really good things about iredmail, and will give it a go.

Use to host our own exchange in our branch campus but the whole uni has now switched to Google. I still need to have control over a mail server for sending out messages for different projects and purpose. iRedMail looks to me aa a very good option and with very minimal cost yet very good product from what i've been reading.

I am a Math teacher and a Linux newb. I decided to dive into creating a professional website with an associated email address to build my teaching career while learning some of the inner workings of computers and the internet. iRedMail seemed like a great way to dive into configuring an email server with some of the gnarlier inner workings obscured by the out-of-the-box installation setup and config.

...that being said, I have a LOT of questions and am looking forward to diving into this forum to get off the ground!

I think you nailed them all!

I'm a fan of open source projects and support the model. If I had to pick one feature that drew me to iRedMail it would probably be that it uses mainstream, tried and tested components. But the support forum is a very close second.

Hi,

I just stumbled aross this Nov 2020 when I was looking to install an email server on ubuntu 20.04 lts.
I have been plyaing around with postfix, and have one setup and an internal realy to send out email from applications like ownlcoud and nagios and works great.

So whn I come across iRedmail, installed ona new Ubuntu 20.04LTS vm and everyhting ran straight out of the box, it stable and easy to update.
i ahve alos install webmin and phpmyadmin, and made administration adn updates really easy and without any fuss.

Support forum is great as well got help with disclaimer and spam filters.
So more features could be added to the iRadAdmin, that are not pro features, Switched from Rouncube to Sogo and the instruction in the documetation and forum on how to setup the filters in Sogo were great.

I just developed a global address book for Sogo using mysql and tat wokrs great as well

Great product keep it up.
