Free groupware server software for linux

Scalable OGo project (SOGo in short) is a groupware server built around the SOPE application server. Unlike OGo it is focused on scalability instead of depth in functionality. The web interface uses human readable URLs and can be accessed according to REST web service ideas. Notably it requires no server side session at all.

The server stores all internal data in the iCalendar format and therefore has no data model inconsistencies with native clients - it easily connects using GroupDAV connectors.

Scalable OpenGroupware.org is being developed since August 2004.

Important: SOGo is still in pre-alpha quality and is largely undocumented. We do not provide RPM or Debian packaging yet nor expect to be able to build the source without issues.

NullLogic Groupware is a multi-user web-based groupware package designed for contact management and event scheduling, which includes additional features such as instant messaging, public forums, shared hyperlinks, file bases, a web e-mail client, and a simple order processing system.
The main goal of NullLogic Groupware is to make your data accessible to you from anywhere at any time without the need for special software to be installed on the client computer. All you need is a web browser.
Additional features include private messaging, public discussion forums, webmail, shared bookmarks, file sharing, call tracking, order processing, an XML-RPC API, and integrated POP3 and SMTP servers.
Enhancements:
- fixed zero domain ownership on newly created mail filters
- added ClamAV support to sample scanner script
- cleaned up some of the page transitions in mod_mail

Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is an integrated mail/groupware server based on open commodity protocols, such as ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, webmail, and mailing list services within a single, consistent, framework.
Individual components can be enabled or disabled at will. Courier now implements basic web-based calendaring and scheduling services integrated in the webmail module. Advanced groupware calendaring services will follow soon.
Couriers source code should compile on most POSIX-based operating systems based on Linux, and BSD-derived kernels. Courier should also compile on Solaris and AIX, with some help from Suns or IBMs freeware add-on tools for their respective operating systems.
Courier evolved out of several related projects, that merged together (more on that later). Courier implements SMTP extensions for mailing list management and spam filtering. Courier can function as an intermediate mail relay, relaying mail between an internal LAN and the Internet, or perform final delivery to mailboxes.
Courier uses maildirs as its native mail storage format, but it can also deliver mail to legacy mailbox files as well. Couriers configuration is set by plain text files and Perl scripts. Most of Couriers configuration can now be adjusted from a web browser, using Couriers web-based administration module.
Courier can provide mail services for regular operating system accounts. Courier can also provide mail services for virtual mail accounts, managed by an LDAP, MySQL, or PostgreSQL-based authentication database.
Enhancements:
- This release introduces a Web-based interface to couriermlm, implementing complete, browser-based mailing list administration functionality.
