最佳开源电子邮件服务器
======
![][0]
> 这是一份可以用于发送/接收电子邮件并存储邮件的开源邮件服务器列表。
无论你使用何种 [电子邮件客户端][1],使用像 Gmail、Proton Mail 和 Outlook 这样的电子邮件服务非常方便。
为了实现这一切,你利用的是它们的邮件服务器进行电子邮件传输。因此,你的电子邮件的安全性、可靠性和隐私性取决于他人。
但是,如果你希望拥有自己的电子邮件基础设施并控制数据,那么你需要一个开源电子邮件服务器来解决这个问题。
让我解释得更清楚一些,电子邮件服务器可以让你:
- 构建自己的邮件后端以存储电子邮件帐户
- 通过自托管来掌控安全性和可靠性
- 在你首选的服务器架构上进行托管
- 让你能够创建无限数量的帐户
当然,这些并不适用于终端用户。中小型企业的系统管理员和自托管者才能用得上这些软件。
考虑到你现在对开源电子邮件服务器的好处有了一定了解,下面是一些你可以找到的最佳选项:
> 📋 这个列表包括邮件服务器和一些能够构建/创建邮件服务器的解决方案。其中一些可能提供托管服务,而另一些可以进行自托管。

Best Open Source Email Servers
======
It is convenient to use email services like Gmail, Proton Mail, and Outlook to send and receive emails, no matter what [email client][1] you use.
And, for all of that, you utilize their mail servers for email transactions. So, your emails' security, reliability, and privacy depend on someone else.
But what if you want to own your email infrastructure and have the data in your control? You need an open-source email server, which should solve your problem.
If you are still curious, an email server lets you:
- **Build your mail backend to store email accounts**
- **Take control of the security and reliability by self-hosting**
- **Host on your preferred server architecture**
- **It gives you the ability to make unlimited accounts**
Of course, this is not for the end users. Sysadmins in small to midscale businesses, self hosters will find these software interesting.
Considering now you have an idea of the benefits of an open-source email server, here are some of the best options that you can find:
> 📋 The list includes mail servers and some solutions that make it possible to build/create an email server. Some might offer managed services and others can be self-hosted.

With Postal, you can create mail servers/users for multiple organizations, access outgoing/incoming message queue, real-time delivery information, and built-in features to ensure emails get delivered.
**Key Highlights:**
- Real-time delivery information
