The BackupAssist Classic cloud backup addon historically supported 3 different backup destination types - Amazon S3, Microsoft Azure and WebDAV. This would give users the option to perform file and application backups to remote cloud-based destinations by simply configuring a compatible backup container.
Technically this works well but can be a bit overwhelming for customer who don't already have either a Microsoft Azure account or Amazon AWS Account and are happy to ignore 99.9% of the features those accounts provide and focus on just the creation of backup storage. WebDAV is more used for remote NAS support so is only an option for customers with suitable hardware.
Microsoft has announced that in the last few days, four separate vulnerabilities in the Exchange Server platform have been identified.
Unfortunately, it would seem these have already been used by hackers to steal the mailbox content of many thousands of Exchange Server installations.

Microsoft have announced that Basic Authentication is being deprecated and that they will start turning this authentication type off on 365 tenants beginning October 2022.
MailStore version 13 onwards makes it possible for Microsoft 365 customers to tighten up their security by utilising Microsoft's Modern Authentication integration.
This article aims to explain what changes have been made in MailStore to support Modern Authentication and what the process is to convert a MailStore installation over from using Basic Authentication to Modern Authentication.
To begin lets first look at the two modes of authentication that can be used with Microsoft 365 and how they differ.
One of the more recent and often somewhat overlooked security features within MDaemon is Location Screening. This can be viewed as an IP level firewall but one that is blocking IPs based on their country of origin.

With the fantastic help from Brad Wyro over at MDaemon there is now a selection of tutorial videos you can sit back and watch in your lunch break to get up to speed on the product.
