Self-contained services

Installation does not require a server-based operating system or a directory server. All services within Kerio MailServer are self contained, meaning it has no dependencies on other services which may be pre-installed with the operating system. (SMTP, POP, IMAP, LDAP, and HTTP)

Additional tools and functionalities that come with the installation are Kerio Mobility, anti-spam, anti-virus, mailing lists, archiving and backup.

Directory service integration and user management

Kerio MailServer allows administrators to manage users in four different ways.

Microsoft Active Directory (Watch video)
Apple Open Directory (Watch video)
PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) on Linux
Kerio MailServer's own internal user database

The integration with a directory service can help administrators manage user accounts in one location. Directory service integration is optional, which can be ideal for smaller organizations that don't need to setup a directory server.

Kerio MailServer can also allow simultaneous use of the internal database and a directory server to authenticate users. This allows administrators to easily manage temporary accounts without having to use Active Directory licenses.

All-inclusive administration console

In one interface, administrators can use Kerio Administration Console to configure all the settings of Kerio MailServer, including Kerio Mobility, anti-spam, anti-virus, mailing lists, archiving and backup.

Secure options

Several authentication options such as Cram-MD5, Kerberos authentication with directory servers, pluggable authentication modules (PAM) on the Linux version, are available to provide easy management and secure authentication. Policies can be enabled to enforce all connections to be secure.

Kerio MailServer provides a simple process to import root or intermediate SSL certificates as well as a wizard to create a self-signed certificate.

Multi-domain administration

Multiple domains can be created and managed with its own set of users, groups, email addresses, and mailing lists.

Remote administration

Kerio Administration Console for Kerio MailServer is a separate application, which can be installed on any supported operating system for remote administration. Remote connections to the server are encrypted.

Kerio Web Administration

Kerio Web Administration is a web-based interface that allows non-technical users to manage user accounts, email aliases, groups, mailing lists, and resources such as a conference room and projector from a web browser. Unlike the full-featured Kerio Administration Console, Kerio Web Administration cannot modify any other settings, and users can only change or view the settings of their own domain.

"Kerio MailServer by far the best email solution I have used in my 15 years of Net Administration. It is easy to install, configure and manage! I am very pleased with the content filtering feature, as it has prevented numerous viruses from arriving in my users’ inbox. This is a great value for the investment!"
