About iRedMail
iRedMail is a tool for installing a self-hosted mail server on supported Linux and BSD systems. The homepage says it combines open source mail components and applies configuration practices so that a complete mail server can be deployed in several minutes. Supported systems include CentOS Stream, Rocky, Alma, Debian, Ubuntu, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD. The homepage also lists Red Hat Enterprise Linux among supported systems.
The installation includes webmail through Roundcube or SOGo, calendar and contact support through SOGo, and spam and virus filtering through SpamAssassin and ClamAV. Mail accounts can be stored in OpenLDAP, MySQL, MariaDB, or PostgreSQL. A free web admin panel is included. A separate paid edition, iRedAdmin-Pro, is described as having more features. The homepage states that all personal data is kept on the operator's own disk, and that end-user connections are required to use TLS or HTTPS. These statements describe a self-hosted installation and do not guarantee security or privacy. The directory record lists the tool as not open source, while the homepage describes the components it uses as open source. Pricing for the paid edition and support services is not stated in the source.
