Comparing postfix/dovecot to exchange is grossly misunderstanding what’s happening

If you’re using exchange/outlook, you’re using Active Directory.

The only real “altetnative” is the reimplementation in samba v4.. calling that an alternative is a bit of a stretch. And it barely scales to one user let alone millions like AD can



You can trivially set up Postfix/Dovecot with LDAP.


There’s nothing trivial about running or scaling an ldap server.

Ldap is also not Active Directory. Ldap is one very small part of it
