About

Dovecot is an excellent choice for both small and large installations. Dovecot is among the best performing IMAP servers while still supporting the standard mbox and Maildir formats. The mailboxes are transparently indexed, which gives Dovecot its good performance while still providing full compatibility with existing mailbox handling tools. Dovecot is standards compliant. Dovecot passes all IMAP server standard compliancy tests while most other servers fail many of them. Dovecot’s indexes are self-optimizing. They contain exactly what the user’s client commonly needs, no more and no less. Dovecot is self-healing. It tries to fix most of the problems it notices by itself, such as broken index files. The problems are however logged so the administrator can later try to figure out what caused them. Dovecot tries to be admin-friendly. Common error messages are made as easily understandable as possible.

About

What is Postfix? It is Wietse Venema's mail server that started life at IBM research as an alternative to the widely-used Sendmail program. Now at Google, Wietse continues to support Postfix. Postfix runs (or has run) on AIX, BSD, HP-UX, IRIX, LINUX, MacOS X, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX, and other UNIX systems. It requires ANSI C, a POSIX.1 library, and BSD sockets. Postfix attempts to be fast, easy to administer, and secure. The outside has a definite Sendmail-ish flavor, but the inside is completely different. Multiple SMTP deliveries over the same TLS-encrypted connection. This reuses the existing tlsproxy(8) and scache(8) services. MySQL stored procedure support. Gradual degradation: in many cases a Postfix daemon will log a warning and continue providing the services that are still available, instead of immediately terminating with a fatal error. Postfix can set the execute bit on a queue file. If this does not work, then no mail will ever be delivered.
