Question 1

iRedMail is free — why pay for CeyMail?

Accepted Answer

iRedMail’s free tier gives you a basic admin panel (iRedAdmin). For a full-featured admin interface, you need iRedAdmin-Pro, which is a separate purchase. CeyMail includes a modern dashboard in all tiers (including the free Community tier), plus AI spam screening, AI log analysis, and commercial support in paid tiers.

Question 2

How do the admin panels compare?

Accepted Answer

iRedMail’s free admin panel is minimal. iRedAdmin-Pro adds domain/user management but costs extra. CeyMail’s dashboard is included at every tier and offers a modern interface for domains, users, aliases, DKIM, queues, and server health.

Question 3

Can I migrate from iRedMail?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both use Postfix and Dovecot, so mailbox data is compatible. Use imapsync to transfer mail, then update DNS records to point to CeyMail.

Question 4

Which has better security features?

Accepted Answer

CeyMail adds AI spam screening (99.2% accuracy), AI log analysis, and outbound email screening on top of standard SpamAssassin. iRedMail relies on SpamAssassin and Amavisd without AI enhancement. For organizations that prioritize email security, CeyMail offers more.
