iRedMail - Free, Open Source Mail Server Solution for Linux/BSD

What iRedMail is

A ZERO COST, fully fledged, full-featured mail server solution. All used packages are free and open source, provided by the Linux/BSD distribution venders you trust.
An open source project, released under GPLv2, hosted on BitBucket.

Note: We have only one edition of iRedMail, it's free and open source. All mail services related features are implemented in iRedMail. When we talk about "Pro", we're talking about iRedAdmin-Pro (web admin panel for iRedMail).

What iRedMail does

Install and configure mail server related BINARY packages automatically from the official software repositories provided by Linux/BSD distribution venders.

Note: on FreeBSD, packages are installed with ports tree.

Benefits

Zero cost, fully fledged and full-featured.
Fast deployment in LESS THAN 1 MINUTE, easy to use and stable. View YouTube Video to check how easy it is.
Control over your own data. You have all personal data on your hard disk, it is not on somebody else's storage medium.
All components are free and open source softwares, and you get the bug fixes and updates of the used packages from the Linux/BSD distribution venders you trust, not iRedMail project.
Works on both non-virtualized and virtualized boxes, e.g. VMware, Xen, KVM, OpenVZ, VirtualBox, with i386 and x86_64/amd64 support.
Full-featured web admin panel - iRedAdmin-Pro. Online demo is available, purchase here. You can setup mail server manually with the same softwares as used in iRedMail, but you cannot find a suitable web-based admin panel like iRedAdmin-Pro.

I have worked with Unix/Linux mail systems for nearly two decades and it has always been a struggle dealing with large numbers of domains and virtual users on a single server. I looked long and hard and actually ran several solutions on small servers for many months before making the decision to purchase iRedAdmin Pro. The product paid for itself in the first couple of weeks in time saved alone. What sealed the deal was the excellent level of technical support that I received when we had a glitch. The problem was resolved quickly and the whole event was completely transparent to our users. iRedAdmin Pro is a mature product with great support and ongoing development. I could not give it a higher recommendation.

Thank you so much for all of the great work you have put into the iRedMail system!

It (iRedMail) was so easy to install and start using I thought something was wrong. After extensive testing, found it is a reliable, secure, and the best part - a "small footprint" system. I like the iRedAdmin interface so much I didn't hesitate to upgrade to Pro, and highly recommend it when I am asked.

How has my support experience from the iRedMail team been? Exceptional!!!! Kind and most important - friendly and respectful. I had a few questions I sent, thought it would be a day or 2 before an answer back, and it was quick!

My overall experience is so good I am recommending all of my clients to at least use the open source version and upgrade to the Pro, and not even waste their time using any other system.

We are running iRedMail with iRedAdmin-Pro for almost a year now. There have been a lot of updates and improvements. Whenever you need another function which could be useful to a lot of people just tell and in the next update you have it. The support is very quick and good. Thanks a lot for this wonderful program.

iRedMail is the our choice, thank's to the use of standard packeges and solutions for e-mail management. Before we used sendmail and we was searching for a system that implemented maildir + Dovecot upon LDAP for the managemet of user accounts, so iRedMail is perfect for us. Moreover it is free, has a very good support - and I emphasize *very good* - and the Admin Panel - iRedAdmin-Pro, we bought as soon as deployed iRedMail, is a very valid tool to manage the system.
