About Modoboa
Modoboa is a free, open-source mail hosting and management platform. An installer deploys a complete email server in minutes, and administrators manage domains, mailboxes, aliases and quotas from a simplified web interface, while users get webmail and address books. It bundles the usual mail components into one maintained package under the ISC license. Modoboa is aimed at individuals, small businesses and hosting providers who want to operate their own mail platform without assembling Postfix and Dovecot themselves.
