MDaemon v21.5: Enhanced Security for Administrators and End Users
Throughout their 25 year history, MDaemon Technologies has been a leader in the field of email security.
With the latest new version 21.5 of their Exchange alternative, MDaemon Mail Server, they deploy more new features and technologies to further strengthen their comprehensive security toolkit.
MDaemon 21.5 offers better protection for end-users against hackers with the addition of support for application passwords.
For Administrators, there are several new security-focused features including the ability to block potentially dangerous email attachments, the addition of a password strength meter, and a new report highlighting blocked connections.
While Microsoft has been following the market trend of most software manufacturers and switching to a subscriptions model, until now Microsoft Exchange, SharePoint and Project Server had all avoided the fate of Office 365.
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.
For many years now its been common place for users to need access to their business email, calendars and contacts on their mobile devices. Over the years there have been different ways to achieve this, but by far the easiest to setup and the option with best support for access from any connection is ActiveSync.
One of the biggest concerns when changing email platform is how can you migrate all your users existing email, calendar and contacts data over without having to ask each user to backup and restore there own data via their email client.
In this blog article I want to introduce the 'MDaemon ActiveSync Migration Client' that makes the process of moving multiple mailboxes from any other ActiveSync capable server over to MDaemon a much easier task.
