Here is my AI 'research':
ChatGPT_Prompt
what OS is supported by 'mailcow'? my 'mailinabox'? What are alternatives? is hestiaCP a decent email platform?
ChatGPT_Answer
Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know:
Mailcow
Supported OS:
Officially supports Debian (recommended) and Ubuntu.
Runs as a Dockerized solution, so technically, any OS that supports Docker can run Mailcow.
Best used on a dedicated VM or server due to its resource requirements.
Mail-in-a-Box
Supported OS:
Officially supports Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.
Does not support other distributions without major modifications.
Focuses on simplicity and automation, making it great for non-experts.
Alternatives
HestiaCP
Supports Debian and Ubuntu.
Provides Exim + Dovecot for email.
Includes Roundcube for webmail.
Has basic spam filtering (SpamAssassin).
Lacks advanced email filtering and deliverability controls of Mailcow.
iRedMail
Supports Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, and OpenBSD.
Uses Postfix, Dovecot, Roundcube, and SpamAssassin.
Offers a paid version (iRedMail Pro) with additional features.
Modoboa
Supports Debian and Ubuntu.
Comes with a web-based admin panel.
Includes email monitoring and anti-spam tools.
Mailu
A Docker-based alternative to Mailcow.
Uses Postfix, Dovecot, and Rspamd.
Lightweight but requires manual setup.
Is HestiaCP a Good Email Platform?
HestiaCP is okay for personal or small business email, but it's not as feature-rich as Mailcow for managing high-volume mailboxes. It lacks advanced anti-spam, DKIM/DMARC controls, and modern email security measures that Mailcow or Mail-in-a-Box provide.
If you need a simple, free solution for low-traffic email, HestiaCP is fine.
If you need enterprise-grade deliverability, spam protection, and email policies, Mailcow is the better choice.
