About Haraka
Haraka can serve thousands of concurrent connections and deliver thousands of messages per second. Haraka and plugins are written in asynchronous JS and are very fast. Haraka has very good spam protection (see plugins) and works well as a filtering MTA. It also works well as an MSA running on port 587 with auth and dkim_sign plugins enabled. Haraka makes no attempt to be a mail store (like an exchange or postfix/exim/qmail), an LDA, or an IMAP server (like Dovecot or courier). Haraka is typically used with such systems. Haraka has a scalable outbound mail delivery engine built in. Mail marked as relaying (such as via an auth plugin) is automatically queued for outbound delivery. Haraka's plugin architecture provides an easily extensible MTA that complements traditional MTAs that excel at managing mail stores but do not have sufficient filtering.

Mail-in-a-Box
Mail-in-a-Box lets you become your own mail service provider in a few easy steps. It’s sort of like making your own gmail, but one you control from top to bottom.
Technically, Mail-in-a-Box turns a fresh cloud computer into a working mail server. But you don’t need to be a technology expert to set it up.
Each Mail-in-a-Box provides webmail and an IMAP/SMTP server for use with mobile devices and desktop mail software. It also includes contacts and calendar synchronization.
The box also includes other standard mail functionality like spam protection (spam filtering and greylisting), mail filter rules, email client autoconfiguration, and automated backups to Amazon S3 and other services.
The box also includes automatic DNS configuration when you let it become your nameserver so that it can set important DNS records for mail deliverability and security including SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and MTA-STS. When enabled, DNSSEC (with DANE TLSA) provides a higher level of protection.

Aid4Mail is a fast, reliable, and highly accurate tool to collect, recover, search, and convert emails. It supports most mailbox file formats (e.g. PST, OST, OLM, mbox), IMAP accounts (e.g. Yahoo!

Aid4Mail can recover double-deleted messages and corrupted emails, and extract MIME data from certain types of unknown file formats through file carving.
Aid4Mail provides a large array of tools to search and filter out unwanted emails during conversion. Save time by using native pre-acquisition filters to download a subset of your mail from Exchange, Office 365, Gmail and other webmail services.

Exim
Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) used in Unixllike operating systems. The first version was written in 1995 by Philip Hazel for use in the University of Cambridge Computing Service's e-mail systems. Exim is distributed under the GPL, and therefore is free to download, use and modify. Exim somewhat resembles Smail 3, but it has diverged and now surpasses it in user friendliness and flexibility. They both follow the Sendmail design model where a single main binary controls all the facilities of the MTA. This monolithic design is considered by some to be inherently less secure and slower, but despite this, Exim's security record is much better than Sendmail and comparable with Qmail and Postfix, as is its speed. In advanced areas such as queue handling, address routing and testing, it exhibits excellent performance. Exim doesn't have a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to help you configure it, but some Linux distributions add one.
