| Spec score · Email Server Software | 7.7 (#16) | 8.4 (#2) |
| Administration | The project provides a setup script to configure and administer the mail server. | Its web interface supports domain-level administrators, user self-service, message throttling, and account search. |
| Deployment | The usage guide uses Docker Compose as its reference and requires a host the user can manage, a domain, and the ability to manage its DNS. | The Enterprise Edition is an on-premises product that keeps data on the user's own server. |
| Purpose | Docker Mailserver is a production-ready mail server supporting SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, anti-spam, and anti-virus. | iRedMail is open-source software for deploying a full-featured mail server. |
| Support | The repository asks users to consult the documentation before opening issues and says the issue tracker is for issues, not personal support. | Enterprise Edition pricing includes technical support; general technical questions and issues can also be posted to the online forum. |
