Re: Which is better? Microsoft Exchange 2016 or Linux-based SMTP Servers?

[Robert Moskowitz <rgm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you want a fairly well packaged Linux Microsoft alternative, check out ClearOS which is Centos based.

I use it, but then my needs are rather small.

Good evening from Singapore,

I am torn between deploying Microsoft Exchange 2016 and Linux-based

SMTP servers like sendmail, postfix, qmail and exim.

Relative ease of installation and configuration is an important

consideration factor.

Microsoft Exchange 2016, Domain Controller, and Active Directory are

relatively easy to install and configure. Linux-based SMTP servers are

extremely difficult to install and configure and of course, extremely

time-consuming.

One of the features of Microsoft Exchange 2016 is that you can create

additional folders on your Inbox in the server (server-side). Can

Linux-based SMTP servers do that?

Does Exchange 2016 offer more user-friendly features or Linux-based

SMTP servers?

Besides the above considerations, how about security? Traditionally,

Linux is far more secure than Windows.

Judging by security, Linux-based SMTP servers ought to have a higher percentage of the market share?

Finally, I can only use Windows Server 2016 Standard Evaluation Copy FREE for a period of 3 years MAXIMUM. But I can use Linux servers and Mail Transport Agents (MTA) FREE perpetually. 

Please advise.

Thank you very much.
