| Administration | The project provides a setup script to configure and administer the mail server. | Its online administration panel manages domains, mailboxes, aliases, and other settings. |
| Integrations | Documented email relay options include AWS SES and Gmail, and the project also documents Kubernetes and Podman deployment. | The project says Modoboa integrates with Postfix and Dovecot and can use MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, or SQLite as its central database. |
| Purpose | Docker Mailserver is a production-ready mail server supporting SMTP, IMAP, LDAP, anti-spam, and anti-virus. | Modoboa is an open-source platform for installing and managing a self-hosted email server. |
| Support | The repository asks users to consult the documentation before opening issues and says the issue tracker is for issues, not personal support. | The project offers paid installation or upgrade assistance, help with specific issues, and annual maintenance services. |
| Transport security | The documented default enables and requires STARTTLS on port 587 for outbound submission, while port 25 supports unencrypted submission and inbound mail by default. | The site says communications between the mail server and the outside are encrypted by default with TLS and a valid certificate provided by Let's Encrypt. |
