| Modular Design |
Bareed is extremely modular. It comes with a robust plugin system allowing you to add new features to Bareed without changing the core of the program (making upgrades a snap). |

You don't need yet another user database to run HIT Mail, we have plugins that allow you to integrate Bareed seamlessly into other applications. For instance, you can have Bareed authenticate users off of an existing Web Forum, a Secure ID system, an LDAP server, or any other data source. All that is involved is creating a simple plugin. |

Because of how it's designed, Bareed can run under persistent perl environments like mod_perl or SpeedyCGI for those who need the quickest response times. Bareed even comes with simple instructions for mod_perl setup, and a mod_perl startup file! We offer hosted solutions with mod_perl already setup and configured! |
