What it is

Modoboa is a comprehensive mail hosting and management solution featuring a user-friendly web interface, making it easy to manage email services for businesses and organizations.

Modoboa stands out as a self-hosted, comprehensive mail management solution offering robust features and a modern web interface.

When it fits — and when it doesn’t

A good fit for

  • Organizations needing a self-hosted solution for managing multiple domains and users

  • Teams that require integrated spam filtering and antivirus features in their email hosting platform

Look elsewhere if

  • Projects requiring cloud-based email services without the need for self-hosting

  • Users looking for an out-of-the-box service with minimal setup effort
