At present, most open source mail system is based on Linux operating platform, such as SendMail, Qmail, and so on, many years of development, the Internet on the application of open source mail system has a lot of cases for enterprises to learn from

In contrast, open source messaging systems have some unavoidable drawbacks:

1 choice of products are too many, and can not find the authority of the evaluation, people some difficult to choose;

2 The lack of Chinese information, most of the foreign technology is only English version;

3 The Open source mail system relies heavily on technical personnel. In the initial stage of system construction, the later system management and maintenance, are inseparable from professional and technical personnel. Once the technician leaves, the mail system is likely to fall into the awkward situation of no maintenance;

4) system maintenance difficulties. Open source mail system configuration is particularly troublesome, many parameters, often a parameter configuration error on the entire system error, the task is difficult, the enterprise's human resources cause a great burden;

5 There are too few operating system platforms to support.
