uh, mailinabox ONLY supports ubuntu 22?

Can't we use mailcow instead? what OS are supported THERE?

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Modoboa

    • Supports Debian and Ubuntu.
    • Comes with a web-based admin panel.
    • Includes email monitoring and anti-spam tools.

  4. 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.

Would you like help setting up one of these?
