So you think that a Linux mail server is unhackable for a state actor?

Nothing is perfect. I'm sure nobody here is proposing that. However the lack of perfect alternatives doesn't excuse Microsoft's or specifically MS Exchange's reputation.

Lol. Love it. Don't use Microsoft, instead become an expert in cisco OS and Linux and don't spend ay time generating anything of economic value but instead spend all your time securing your infrastructure and doing pen tests.

(yes, if you are expert open source is easier top secure maybe, at least that was my experience 20+ years ago. Now I mostly pay companies like microsoft to host my stuff so I can do billable shit).
