To provide some details that might not be immediately obvious, this is a piece of software that takes care of installing and setting up the various pieces one would use to run (in my opinion) the ideal mail system: Postfix, Dovecot, MySQL/PostgreSQL, OpenLDAP, spam filtering, webmail, etc. All of the software is, of course, open-source/free software but the iRedMail-Pro "management" application is what you are paying for (there is also a free version w/ less features). You can certainly implement everything yourself from scratch without paying for it. I'm not a customer and have not used it although I did look into it a while back. The few people I asked who had used it were satisfied with what they received for the price. YMMV.

    Would you be able to start signing your packages? I realise it doesn't provide any real protection, but it would make me feel a little better.

      Will try it later, but no promise. We will try to use all packages provided by upstream.

  I don't understand why removed my reply. I really am author of iRedMail project. I saw this post, then registered an account to say something (I forgot my old account coz I read HN with RSS, not web).
