What ever you are going to use, refrain from exchange. It sucks a lot of RAM and the settings don’t work out of the box. I still (to this day) am having trouble getting outlook intergration to work. I can send mail and stuff but i can’t connect to my exchange server via the outlook application from office365. Which has to do with Virtual directories & other stuff. But before exchange i used Iredmail (opensource linux mail server) and that server is still rocking to this day. I’m sure it’s a beautiful mail server if you get everything working.
Does anybody know what Lawrence uses for their company email? I’m trying to pick a new open source groupware solution. Starting to get tempted to stop hosting myself.
Does anyone use open source groupware? Previous solutions I’ve picked haven’t stuck around and now the options seem more limited. Are there any recommendations?
I was using Zentyal’s wrapped up deployment of SOGO but perhaps I’ll take a gander at what it’s like to manually deploy and use without their customizations. I’ve contemplated nextcloud but wasn’t sure how well it works with outlook and activesync so I’ll need to look at pros and cons of the 2 platforms. Unless someone has some real world experience to chime in?
If its for home use. I highly recommend Gsuite or O365 if its more to your liking. The constant headaches of possible being in blacklists and getting around them is way to much trouble.
If you are in a Small Business i also recommend either of the ones mentioned above.
If you are in the enterprise market, i guess you have little choice. Exchange it is, most of the time.
For internal mail (alerts / notifications) I have some janky solution in place, but for public-facing email I was lucky enough to get google apps when it was free, which grandfathered me in with 5 free accounts. So all my public mx records just point to google.
Was listening to a Steve Gibson video yesterday and they talked about thehelm,com. It is a hardware and backend secure email service and is ideal for the home / SOHO user. details at https://thehelm.com/pages/technology
I am looking at setting up main-in-a-box for some time now. But currently I pay $2/mo for mailcheap shared plan. I used to use mxroute but didn’t like cpanel email.
