Zimbra Alternative Open source application [closed]
I'm looking for an open source alternative for zimbra which supports outlook and thunderbird as pop and smtp clients. I don't need collaboration suite.
If anyone can suggest or share their experience on MTA?
Thanks.
Check out this ServerFault thread titled "Exchange server replacement that runs on Linux"
Assuming you want one that runs on Linux, you have
- Kerio
- Scalix
- OpenXchange
- Kolab
- Linagora
- Zarafa
- Communigate Pro (Not open, but hey...)
And more that remain to be explored. If the server support open standards like SMTP and POP3, then there will be no problem with using Outlook, Thunderbird or any other standard client.
MTA is Mail Transfer Agent (SMTP portion). MTA is maybe 5% of what Zimbra does.
I've been using Cyrus IMAP & POP for years, works great with both Outlook and Thunderbird.
