Zimbra started crapping all over the open source community, so one of hte add-on vendors (ZExtras) forked it before they fucked it up and are now running with a "new" system, Carbonio.
Also, yeah, my 365 gets blacklisted several times a year, more than all of my other email servers combined. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Hohhof" <khoh...@kwom.com> To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" <af@af.afmug.com> Sent: Friday, September 13, 2024 8:38:18 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Email Servers I feel like the #1 advantage of hosting with Google or Microsoft is nobody dares blacklist them. Mike, weren’t you a Zimbra advocate at one time? Seems like that’s what all the cool kids were using, was that just its 15 minutes of fame?

But, if you ask me, y'all are crazy for running your own email server(s) anyways. Host your corporate email at Google/O365/whatever floats your boat, and politely tell your customers to get their email elsewhere.

Maybe someone here is familiar with it. If you want just a barebones SMTP/IMAP/POP3/webmail server you may want to roll your own like the old days. Postfix, Dovecot, Roundcube, SpamAssassin, ClamAV, MariaDB. Or believe it or not, there is a fork of the old Sun Cobalt software (now open source) still around and actively supported. Although it doesn't sound like you want to do web hosting, DNS, FTP, etc. on the same box. https://www.blueonyx.it/ -----Original Message----- From: AF < af-boun...@af.afmug.com > On Behalf Of Nate Burke Sent: Thursday, September 12, 2024 4:24 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group < af@af.afmug.com > Subject: [AFMUG] Email Servers I've been using Merak/Icewarp email server for a long long time. Like 20+ years, it's just worked, and worked, and worked. The software has been slowly migrating into becoming an MS exchange replacement with Groupware/files/cloud, and has made just a simple SMTP/IMAP/POP3/webmail server very difficult and expensive. I know that moving systems is bothersome, especially with users who might need to be 'touched' to update settings. But I think it's time to start looking at other options. Has anyone had to do this recently. What system did you migrate to/from? I have a couple hundred users spread across about 50 domains. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
