I'm not sure how the post came across as Postfix and Dovecot being the monopoly... Just to be clear, the oligopoly are the large email providers (Gmail and friends). > Almost none of the things linked there are run by serious isps that are responsible for other peoples' mail in quantities of tens of thousands of inboxes or more. Software doesn't have to be run by a large ISP to be worth running for people. Even at tens of thousands of inboxes (which is something post people don't need). Good software is out there for running self-hosted email and people should know about it. [EDIT] The post must have been unclear, I've edited it so hopefully no one will think I'm bashing postfix/dovecot. I've even tried to make them easier to use in the past[0], but gave up when I realized that there was better software out there that completely sidestepped the problem.
