Mail-in-a-Box

Each Mail-in-a-Box provides webmail and an IMAP/SMTP server for use with mobile devices and desktop mail software. It also includes contacts and calendar synchronization. The box also includes automatic DNS configuration, spam filtering, greylisting, backups to Amazon S3, static website hosting, and free TLS (SSL) certificates from Let’s Encrypt. Your box can host mail for multiple users and multiple domain names.

It implements modern mail protocols (SPF, DKIM, and DMARC) and the latest security best practices, including opportunistic TLS, strong ciphers, and HSTS. When enabled, DNSSEC (with DANE TLSA) provides a higher level of protection against active attacks. Exchange ActiveSync is also available as a beta feature.

amphp

Amp is a non-blocking concurrency framework for PHP providing primitives to manage concurrency such as an event loop, promises, and asynchronous iterators.

It implements coroutines using PHP's generators to avoid callback or then() hells. Promise consumption works without callbacks and allows ordinary catch clauses just as synchronous code for handling errors.

Riot

Riot allows teams to communicate across a wide range of collaboration apps. If some team members use Riot while others use IRC, Slack or Gitter, Riot will allow these team members to seamlessly work together. Riot offers the richest network of communication bridges. Riot lets you run your own server, and provides users and teams with the most advanced crypto ratchet technology available today for a decentralized secure Internet. Riot is entirely open source: all the code is published on GitHub (Apache License) for anyone to see and extend. This means teams can customize or contribute to the code and everyone can benefit from the speed of community innovation. Riot is built on top of Matrix.
