Best Mail Servers - Page 2

Alinto was born in 2000 as a result of Philippe Gilbert’s vision, whose risk paid off! Bringing together a team of passionate developers and experts in cloud messaging, he innovated the sector with the deployment of the first messaging platform, with a Cloud based email solution in Europe, and the first web based email accessible from a mobile phone. We then became a major player in the European digital arena. As a software mail server provider, our R&D, Marketing and Support teams are committed to adopt an approach focused on availability and proximity. In fact, this is much more than an electronic communication solution, as personalized care and solutions are adapted to your real requirements and needs. Besides, our experts are always available to help. Whether you’re a telecom operator, an internet service provider or an IT specialist, we are here for you.

Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) used in Unixllike operating systems. The first version was written in 1995 by Philip Hazel for use in the University of Cambridge Computing Service's e-mail systems. Exim is distributed under the GPL, and therefore is free to download, use and modify. Exim somewhat resembles Smail 3, but it has diverged and now surpasses it in user friendliness and flexibility. They both follow the Sendmail design model where a single main binary controls all the facilities of the MTA. This monolithic design is considered by some to be inherently less secure and slower, but despite this, Exim's security record is much better than Sendmail and comparable with Qmail and Postfix, as is its speed. In advanced areas such as queue handling, address routing and testing, it exhibits excellent performance. Exim doesn't have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to help you configure it, but some Linux distributions add one.

Dovecot Pro is a full-service email platform that delivers dynamic scalability, high performance, efficient utilization of hardware, and outstanding support to the world’s largest Telcos, ISP's, and Hosters. With a marketshare of 76% of installed email backends, customers trust the performance of Dovecot Pro. Efficient hardware utilization and advanced monitoring tools for statistics and administration reduce ownership costs and save time and maintenance costs. In addition, Dovecot Pro scales up and out to hundreds of servers and millions of users and multiple physical sites. Its stateless native architecture offers maximum flexibility as each major component can be deployed on its own dedicated node. Dovecot Pro provides industry-leading support for all email standards necessary to provide both Mail Delivery Agent functionality (via LMTP and Sieve), and to facilitate mail retrieval by mail clients (via IMAP and POP3).

The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is an integrated mail/groupware server based on open commodity protocols, such as ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list services within a single, consistent, framework. Individual components can be enabled or disabled at will. The Courier mail server now implements basic web-based calendaring and scheduling services integrated in the webmail module. Advanced groupware calendaring services will follow soon. The Courier mail server's source code should compile on most POSIX-based operating systems based on Linux, and BSD-derived kernels. The Courier mail server should also compile on Solaris and AIX, with some help from Sun's or IBM's freeware add-on tools for their respective operating systems. The Courier mail server evolved out of several related projects, that merged together (more on that later). The Courier mail server implements SMTP extensions for mailing list management.

qmail is a secure, reliable, efficient, simple message transfer agent. Security isn't just a goal, but an absolute requirement. Mail delivery is critical for users; it cannot be turned off, so it must be completely secure. qmail's straight-paper-path philosophy guarantees that a message once accepted into the system, will never be lost. qmail also optionally supports maildir, a new, super-reliable user mailbox format. Maildirs, unlike mbox files and mh folders, won't be corrupted if the system crashes during delivery. Even better, not only can a user safely read his mail over NFS, but any number of NFS clients can deliver mail to him at the same time. qmail is vastly smaller than any other Internet MTA. Other MTAs have separate forwarding, aliasing, and mailing list mechanisms. qmail has one simple forwarding mechanism that lets users handle their own mailing lists.

Mail from the outside world is received by Mercury and placed in the addressee's mailbox, where the user can access it at any later point. Messages sent by local users to the outside world are passed to Mercury, which then takes whatever steps are necessary to deliver them, removing the burden from the user's workstation and allowing him to continue with other work. If you connect using a dialup connection, then only the mail server needs to be able to access that connection. Your workstations do not need their own modems or Internet accounts. The mail server can continue processing mail even when the client workstations are turned off, allowing functions that depend on a continuously available service, such as automatic replies and auto-forwarding.

Oracle Communications Messaging Server is a standards-based Internet messaging server designed for high-capacity, reliable message handling for service providers and their customers. Messaging Server provides support for several email protocols and can manage embedded text, sound, graphics, video files, and other files and formats.
