I wanted to share an issue we've seen multiple reports of this week, where MDaemon customers have started receiving bouncebacks from Google mail servers.
Valid email is being refused due to PTR record failures, and it's happening for all Gmail domains including customer registered domains that are used with Google services.
BackupAssist is most popular in the SMB market and as a result, is often used to back up servers running Microsoft Exchange. However there is more than one way to backup Exchange server using BackupAssist, and most importantly multiple options when it comes to restoring data back to exchange. In this blog post, I want to explain the main differences available with and without using the Additional Exchange Granular Restore console add-on and hopefully explaining how invaluable a tool it is for exchange administrators.

This may go some way to accounting for the recent rise, and added sophistication in phishing attacks as criminals choose to target the new weakest link, now located between the chair and keyboard.
I've recently heard from several customers who've been experiencing Microsoft Outlook becoming unstable when viewing HTML based emails.
The issue started around 11th November and after a little digging it quickly became clear it's a known Microsoft issue.
Weak passwords are the most common method by which email accounts and servers can become compromised by spammers.
The great news is that Exchange alternative MDaemon Messaging Server, now offers an easy way to identify when somebody's using one that isn't secure via a simple but effective new reporting feature.
Whether you then decide to name and shame, or just to give them a friendly nudge is entirely up to your discretion! :).
Just a quick notification post this morning as we've had several calls from customers, all experiencing the same issue.
