Ask HN: What's best mail server alternative?

2 pointsbetimd4 comments

I need a mail server that will primarily serve as mail transfer (ex. get/send email from gmail). The suggested solution I'd like to be open source or very cheap alternative. Checked Apache James but it sounds to complicated to implement.

Explain why you want it. You'll get better answers.

I need to make a web app that will allow users to send and receive email from it, using gmail account.

User will be able to use her gmail or outlook or their domain email account. If it's public email provider we know smtp & pop3 details, either she has to provide these info to the app config.

Why not just Postfix or Exim? (Postfix should be easier to use.)
