Mail-in-a-box: easy to set up modern SMTP/SMTPS server stack
It remains a constant frustration to me that Postfix, Exim, Cyrus, Dovecot and the like still feel as if they belong very much in the "here be dragons" territories of the Unix world. Configuring these systems is an exercise in constant frustration and bafflement.They're such a pain to use that since becoming the sysadmin in charge of our work email servers, I gave up running personal ones as well and just pay FastMail to deal with it for me - ain't nobody got time for that.I often dream of taking a sabbatical and writing modern, user-friendly SMPT and IMAP[0] servers. If only so I could use them at work on my return and save myself a lot of time and stress.[0] Possibly even with Exchange ActiveSync support - Microsoft licenses the protocol, but I've no idea what it costs http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/intellectualproperty/IP...
