Users interested in a fully functional mail server
About Poste.io
You can have a fully functional mail server installed in a few minutes, mostly waiting for scripts to do the work. The whole package is designed with reasonable defaults to get you up and running quickly, without having to know the internals and without making decisions that could break the email system.
User data and configuration is strictly separated from binaries. User database is stored in SQLite database - in file. This makes Poste.io fully compatible with external storage. Migration, backups or updates are therefore very easy and mostly consist of files manipulation.
Poste.io has been built from the ground up with security in mind. Internet history is littered with painful security incidents, so we traded old email client compatibility and insecure authentication methods for features that meet today's for features that meet modern security requirements.

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.
